[ST] Bleeding brakes



     Brian your best option is the Mighty Vac at Auto Zone for about
$22.00.
     Alternative, buy about two feet of soft plastic tubing just large
enough to fit tightly over the bleeder nipple. Make a two turn circle with
it about three inches from the nipple side and zip tie it loosely. Have the
zip tie at the top and run the rest into your catch basin. Open and close
the nipple while doing a regular bleed until the loops is full. Then you
can leave the nipple open and pump away with getting any air in the return
line. pump until you see the fluid, tap on caliper to loosen bubbles, flush
a little more,  and close nipple. Repeat at all four front nipples starting
with the closest to the farthest nipples from the brake lever
     Oh yea, after four years replace the tubing as it gets old and
brittle:-)
