One person brake bleeder, what do you recommend?

[Joshua Van Tol]

Or, if you're a cheapskate like me, you can fashion one from a pesticide
sprayer, a scrap reservoir cap, some plastic tubing, a brass fitting, and
some jb weld. That's what I did, and it cost me about $18, including a new
sprayer. I had the cap on hand, and the tubing and brass barb to pipe thread
fitting were cheap.

It works well.
