Subject:      Review on DIY $20 Pressure Bleeder
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

OK...Had my order ready for the Motive Euro bleeder last week. It's not the price that stopped me, but the shipping time. So I looked at the previously posted homemade one. I had a few minutes last Thursday, so I made one. I gotta say thathe instructions were fool-proof(trust me). I bought a generice gallon psprayer at Lowes and the rest of the parts #s were exactly available. Took 30 min to get parts and one hour(busted a nuckle and had to cry/drink a beer) but turned out great. Holds pressure all day and releases easy. Did not have a back-up oil res cap, so used a Poulan leaf blower cap instead. Seems I can now just add a beetle cap, Mazda p, whatever and I'm good for whatever. Haven't bled them yet, but will in the next day or so. Just wanna put out the kudos cuz I cannot find the orignal poster and due to my upload options I cannot load the link to the .pdf. I am sure others have this link available. Michael in San Antonio 91GL AT 'Gringo' 73 Beetle
