Re: Pressure (was Vacuum) brake bleeding

["daveswingle2" <dswingle@xxxx>]

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.
