RE: Home made pressure bleeder? Help

["Avi Meron" <avi@cosmoslink.net>]

I don't think your idea is going to work very well (I did not try it
personally though), do you have a way of getting an air compressor?
If you do, the best way to do it is to pressurize the master cylinder (via a
modified cap with an air nipple on it)up to 50 PSI (the Bentley allows for
app 40+PSI). You can also do it the old fashion way (pump with an
assistance) but it does not work very well. The best way is with air
pressure (just did it last weekend). The pedal is very firm now, no slack
ever....
