BB Dave is definitely a 'boob' guy... 
Since you are putting vacuum on the bleeders, how do you prevent getting any air sucked into the line via the bleeder threads (since they are not tightened)? I've tried the MityVac method and the bubbled never end; so I just go back to the 'tried n true' pedal-pusher method. It's been suggested to put some grease around the bleeder at the thread joint, but I don't know how reliable that is.

OK, we now have a place in our tool boxes for breast pumps. What about the Hitachi Magic Wand vibrator? I was driving a rental car back from Vandenberg AFB and stumbled on an "adult" Serius radio channel. Glowing testimonials......I liked the one woman who said she bought one and didn't leave her house for three days. Any good excuses for why you need a Hitachi Magic Wand in the tool box?
