RE: Brake Bleeding
I have become a firm believer in pressure bleeding the brakes. I have used
a pressure bleeding system borrowed from my buddy Ben Higgins in Galveston.
He says he bought it from a commercial source and is commonly available, but
I don't remember the name...maybe Ben will provide it. I know he reads the
digest. It has a resevoir to keep the MC full and uses the pressure from a
spare tire (kinda like the old VW widow washer). I did find it necessary to
reduce pressure to <10 lbs. Works great and it is a one person job. No
pedal pushing. Just go underneath, attach a hose and collection device, and
open the nipple until it runs clean and no bubbles.
