In reply to a problem/question....one piece of advice received from the stationary engineer at my office was to let the van sit for a long time...overnight, and to press the peddle very, very gently. My engineer friend says a large amount of pressure makes one bubble into thousands. The value of this advice was confirmed by both "Neighbour Tim" and the pleasing sight and sound of air in the tube when bleeding a left-rear nipple. My kids help with this chore and even gave me a set of curved-needle-nose Vice Grips for Christmas. Dino KubiK '89 Westie Syncro
