[QUOTE="Donal, post: 949351, member: 20675"] One of the problems with this approach is the possibility of 'drawing' air back into the system via the threads of the bleed nipple. The check valve may do it's thing but the threads will not! Speedbleeders come with some 'gunk' applied to the threads to prevent this happening. You can actually buy this stuff from the Speedbleeders website. If you don't want to go that way then go back to basics and open the bleed nipple with a little brake pressure applied and then re-tighten the nipple before releasing the brake. This is best done by two people. One final thing - make sure you put a cover over the reservoir when doing this, these things tend to 'spit' fluid on the return stroke DAMHIK :rolleyes: Don [/QUOTE]
