Oh, I don't know; they are often useful. I've got an old Gunson's Easibleed kit which is OK for cars, but for bikes the brake resevoir shape/position can be a problem. You can make "lids" with offcuts of metal/plastic and an old bicycle valve (works well), or you can re-jig the connections to reverse-bleed from the caliper end (works well), or I don't see why an ordinary vacuum cleaner shouldn't be used to pull the fluid out from the caliper end (grease up the bleed nipple to stop leaks, connect to a resevoir bottle with tube, connect the resevoir bottle to the vacuum cleaner hose with a bung, leave the vacuum reducer on the vacuum cleaner hose open to reduce the suck/preserve the vacuum motor. Mind you, if you've got a wifely object, she might take umbridge if you let the fluid go up the vacuum cleaner hose, so take care. |
