<I have found that applying a slight positive pressure to the reservoir is a much easier method to bleed the brakes than the old pump-pump-pump-hold method. Ideally, a pressure bleeder should be staight hydraulic, but since there are only so many hours in a lifetime, I have not gone beyond a simple air-over-oil hook up. Rich
Thanks Rich. Did you just modify the top of the master cylinder reservior to put air pressure on it? Maybe an old cap? Very interesting idea. I use the one-man-bleeder check valve set-up.
