Re: [T3] Power Bleeders

["knowonelse@sbcglobal.net" <knowonelse@sbcglobal.net>]

<x-flowed>On another vehicle email list, some one suggested using a new
hand pumped oil can filled with brake fluid and connecting it to
the bleed port, and pumping fluid in backwards from the usual
bleed direction.

This would obviously add fluid to the reservoir and require
draining of it before it spilled over, but otherwise is there a
downside of doing this?

Interesting idea, but not sure of the practicality.

I just loop the bleed line up and over the tire to put fluid
against the bleed valve and this assures that no bubbles
get sucked back into the wheel cylinder. Works like a
charm even with one-person bleeding and no one working
the bleed valve open and closed.
