- Hi net.motorheads,
-
- I need a tool that will allow me to bleed my brakes without an
- assistant to pump the brake pedal. In my car's Haynes manual they
- mention a tool which is a simple non-return valve that you attach to
- the bleeder nipple. This allows you to pump the brake pedal until no
- bubbles come out. I've also seen pictures of an elaborate
- hand-operated pump with a fluid cannister attached. This sucks fluid
- out the bleeder nipple. I'd prefer something like the first, since
- it's simple and gets the job done. Anybody that can recommend a
- particular tool, and maybe even where to get it in the Boston area?
-
- Thanks,
-
