Pressure Bleeding brakes
Any published techniques for bleeding the brakes with a pressure bleeder. Also, who sells a decent one that fits these master cylinders?
Thanks

Don't waste your time, get a motive power bleeder and do it like the pro's, this is their website: http://www.motiveproducts.com/
You need the 'early american adapter kit' to bleed the standard C3 master cylinder.
You are welcome to search high and low for a better and/or cheaper option but you won't find one.

Motive Bleeder!
Plus get yourself a big C-clamp and a piece of wood to put on top of the plastic plate when bleeding. The chain nonsense they provide is less than adequate for the job by itself.

I have a spare cover. Just install a air fitting. I turn the shop air down to a few pounds, fill the master cylinder , install the cover, connect the air and bleed one back and one front before refilling to do the other set.
Works great and doesn't cost much.

It's less hassle if you just buy the motive bleeder. Here's what i use:
- bug sprayer from the local hardware store
- aluminum plate and soft rubber for the gasket
- wooden blocks and hose clamps
It works great
