I came across something interesting WRT brake bleeding.  They are one 
way valves that replace your bleeders.  I don't have the info on them 
at the moment, I'm battling some computer problems.  When I get it all 
sorted out, I'll post the linkage. 

I found it while looking at Saturn performance items, if anyone is 
search-happy. 

Later,
