Pressure Bleeder, ready made (almost)
I saw a slick approach to building a pressure bleeder posted on a BMW
related newsgroup awhile back. Can't remember exactly where. The idea is
to use a small garden type chemical sprayer to pump brake fluid thru the
system. I think a 2 liter poly tank type would be a good one to try. One
where you could see the fluid level. You would attach the hose to the
brake reservoir cap...schraeder valve w/guts removed would probably work.
Pour brake fluid into the poly tank and use the built-in hand pump to
pressurize it. I haven't tried this yet but really like the approach for
it's simplicity and low cost. Nearly everything is already assembled and
one would have good control of the pressure.
