Easy brake bleed



I bled my brakes last week and I generally have trouble doing it just
because it's always me alone. I do have one of those Lisle "One Man" brake
bleeders, but it doesn't work well just because by the time I run to close
the bleeder valve, air gets sucked in.. I have a Shop Vac and I attached
a vacuum hose over the the vacuum line of the bleeder. Put duct tape over
the end of the shop vac pipe and taped the hose in there. Turned the vac
on, pumped the brake pedal once to get the fluid started and Voila! .It's
great for when you want to completely flush the system, too.
