[V6-12v] Brake Bleeding

[The CyberPoet]

I'm not sure if it's appropriate to mention, but I do sell  
SpeedBleeder kits
cheaply ($27 delivered in the USA, covers all four wheels). You may be
able to find them at your local auto parts store as well -- these are  
one-way
bleeder valves with a spring & ball valve internal to them, and you  
replace
your stock bleeders with them (permanently). To activate the one-way  
bleed
feature, you unscrew them 90 degrees from closed, and now any fluid will
be pushed through the bleeder, but nothing will be permitted back  
into the
system when the pressure releases. Rotate them closed again and they act
like standard bleeders -- total seal. The easiest way to do an one- 
person
brake bleed I've ever found, and I hawk them primarily for  
motorcycles...
