Plugging brake lines

["Bain, Bill" <Bill.Bain@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I had to do an emergency front caliper rebuild on my Spider the
morning I was supposed to leave for Roebling, the thought of draining
the brake fluid and then rebleeding the entire system again was not too
appealing.  Necessity being the mother of invention, I discovered that
the rubber cap that coves the bleed screw works quite well as a
temporary means to seal the line  so you don't have to clean up the
floor of all the leaking fluid.  Of course, you will have to bleed the
wheel(s) you've worked on but it got me to the track on time!
