This actually works better than a $50 pump action bleeder kit. And makes your brake fluid smell better too :-D:-D

I've never understood the point of 'bleeders'???
20 years in the auto trade and all I've ever done is pump the handle (or pedal), hold it down and release the nipple. Re-tighten and repeat the process a few times and your done.

I usually use just clear tubing but i guess the bleeders save on making mess?8-[
Me too, but then I got the 83 1100E with anti-dive lines on the front forks. Nothing other than a bleeder pump worked when I rebuilt the whole system.

Me too. There is a lot more pressure from a Chevy master cylinder with a power booster than any motorcycle has. I have a hard time with the rear lines on some bikes, especially Harleys. One trick that works well is to get some large heavy duty wire zip ties and wrap them around the fully depressed brake pedal or lever after pumping it up. Then let it sit over night. Then use the bleeder. That's what I had to do to my buddies Custom Softail. It was the only method that would work for me.
BTW, my home made bleeder is an old vacuum pump/compressor that my work was throwing out. It is a little Speedair that would be used for an airbrush or something.
