RE: Home-made Brake bleeder

["Heikki Rinta-Koski" <hrk951@xxxxxxx>]

Garden sprayer was 14.95, clear hose from same hardware store $2, nipple to 
screw to cap and attach to that hose $3 and old (or new) spare brake 
reservoir cap.

Put these all together and screw the cap to brake reservoir and pump until 
you feel some pressure and go to wheel to open bleeder with normal catch 
bottle and hose. and watch bubbles and crud coming out.
Repeat this procedure on all wheels. Take care that brake reservoir never 
gets empty by adding fluid. I guess you could add fluid into garden spryer 
and pump it from there, but it feels like waste to me.

Heikki (happy bleeder for year and half)
