On the stuck front one - I have seen these very tight, but nothing a 3 foot breaker bar didn't fix. Not sure what you're using, but get something longer.:)

That's 510 pumps for 1.7 litres by your calculation.
So, you're going to pump every 1.76sec for 15min?


Righto.....

Good grief. With one of these

pump in 1/2 litre or whatever it holds per stroke and extract the air on the return stroke.

I was exaggerating on the 300 bit ( I should have pointed that out for the 1% ers ) .All jokes aside , I cant remember exactly how many pumps per ltr but it is a lot , having said that have filled a few boxes that way including an lt230 and it was less than 5 mins.
Anyway still possible at 1.76 secs I did say a good workout. But for the unfit that could be done every 7.06 secs and made into an hour job
Not really sure what your ? is , sounds more like a statement .

Do the diffs, TC and gearbox the easy way.................

Hills pump up 4l garden sprayer (about $20) with lock on switch, cut the ali wand leaving about 150 - 200mm at the switch end, bend ali stump carefully so it will hang in the filler hole, fill with correct volume of oil, pump up, insert wand stump in filler hole and lock on switch. Too easy.

Great for gearbox and TC too and the flex tube is long enough to site the bottle at the side of the car to pump more air if needed, 50 pumps max and doesn't have to be pumped under the car.

Had mine for yonks now, no probs.

Nice tool Jilden, but the Hills special kills it for turning a PITA job into something that will amuse your neighbours, with simplicity and ease of use.

When will I ever learn??? I've been using a Tom Thumb pump for years now and while it's good for your arm muscles it's a bit much sometimes when it's 40c out there. Thanks!

*Note: I have been using a weed sprayer with a few mods for pressure bleeding brakes. Works nicely.
