A pressure bleeder is a professional tool. Cheap versions are as little as $20.00 and then up to $250.00 I use a brake fluid bottle (16oz) with a hole in the bottom, the hole is a tight fit (air tight) on a rubber hose that goes in and touches the top of the brake fluid bottle. With the hose on your bleeder the hose fills with fluid and after a few pumps it creates a pressurized column between the bleeder and the fluid bottle. It is actually pressurized and will squirt when you pull the hose off the bleeder. The hose is about 30" long and I hang the bottle assembly over the tire so the bubbles rise and the hose supports the bottle. That is what I use ............. You should be able to go to an auto supply and read the instruction sheet from bleeders that they sell. If you want a picture of my redneck pressure bleeder I'll send you one .............. that is free, and what is better than free?
