Subject:      Re: Bleeding Brakes


I've got a brake bleeder with a one way valve, it is cheap and DOES 
make solo bleeding a lot easier.  It's just a check valve in a 
plastic tube.  Got it at a local 'merican car parts place.  Still need 
to run the end of the tube into a jar of fluid to prevent uptake of 
air into the line (fluid being heavier than air will open the valve, 
allowing air to travel up the line)
