Re: Pressure (was Vacuum) brake bleeding



Forget vacuum bleeding. You can never tell when you're done because 
of the air leakage at the bleeder valves. For the best thing in 
brake bleeders (build-it yourself!), take a look at 

http://www.apexcone.com/Bleeder/bleeder.html

The really nice thing about this is that this bleeder, although 
designed for a BMW, works just fine on a DMC (same Girling master 
cylinder!). Build it for about $20. This is a PRESSURE bleeder which 
beats the daylights out of attempting to vacuum bleed. I added an o-
ring at the cap, be sure it's tight or you get a mess.
