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.
