    Re: Brake Bleeder

    The weak link in this system is how tight the bleeder fits into the caliper.  If the threads are loose, you have a source for air that is greater than the one-way valve.  If you can ensure that the threads are leak free, these systems work well and without an assistant.

    Agreed, that would be my main concern about this kind of approach. Certainly you'd want to open the bleeder as little as possible and mileage may vary depending on the condition of the bleeders. Be interesting to see how it works out.

    That looks just like the 30 year old plastic Dr Pepper bottle with copper tubing and lid from an old light fixture I have been using forever.  Works great!  Cost = NEAR ZERO...

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
