<all>RE: Pressure Bleeders

[kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Kevin Lee)]

You can also use the lower cost one without an air compressor.  Just buy
Steve 'Ds pressure bleeder adapter, a type "M" quick connect and an air
tank at your local Wal-mart, K-mart, Home Depot, etc.  The air tanks retail
for less than $30.00, and the quick connect is less than $3.00.  Your total
investment will be less than $70.00.  Probably less money than the dealer
would charge you to doit.

Go to your local gas station and fill the tank up to 20psi.  All of the
tanks I have seen have a pressure guage on them, and can hold enough air to
bleed all 4 brakes.
