cheap brake bleeder
here's a custom bleeder, made from a 914 or bug windshield squirter hose, and a 911 fluid reservoir cap. drill a hole in the cap and attach the threaded end to it with a nut, or a metal valve stem cap with a hole drilled thru. attach the hose to your spare tire or the left front tire, adjust pressure to 25#, and bleed. don't forget to clamp the overflow hose from the reservoir.

Very smart idea.
I was going to crack an irratating joke about a brake bleeder that's even cheaper, plus does the dishess and vacumes the house - but I won't. Bill '79SC. |

Here is my cheap bleeder in action. I pump my bottle up with a compressor, but a bicycle pump would work too. A hole was made on the pop bottle cap and a silicon hose was glued in place with some PL premium construction glue. After the bottle is compressed the hose is connected to the overflow nipple on the master cylinder resevoir.
