[V6-12v] Brake Bleeding

[Tom Christiansen]

I built my own pressure bleeder using a garden sprayer, some hose
fittings, a pressure gauge, an old brake reservoir cap, and a piece of
hose. I've bled the brakes on my 1994 90S, but I recall the fluid
running very slowly out the bleed screws even with 15 psi (1 ATM)
applied to the brake fluid reservoir. I ended up helping it along the
way by applying pressure on the brake pedal (in addition to the
pressure from the power bleeder).

I didn't go higher on the pressure as I didn't want to risk having the
reservoir pop off the master cylinder. It's only held on there by an
o-ring!!
