Or make your own. Use reasonably stiff rubber hose, block the far end thoroughly (a bolt pushed in up to the head does the trick); use a scalpel or razorblade to put a short (say 5mm or a bit more) CLEAN slice into either side of the hose just above the bolt. Push onto bleeder screw, immerse hose blocked end in container of brakeliquid and loosen bleeder. Go to it! It works so long as the hose slits are clean enough to seal between pedal-pushes. |
