Definitely. See my note from earlier on the home-brew pressure bleeder (or just buy one, it really is easier!). However, on this run, my bleeder got to go home with the IA, so I didn't have it :-) >Wrap a rag or paper towel around the reservoir to catch the excess fluid. >(If you are a pureist you can make a fitting to go in the filler hole with a >tube into a catch container, but you won't re-use the fluid anyway) Good idea. A 1/8" NPT to hose barb fitting works real well with the coupe. If you collect it in a clean container, and dump out anything that comes through discolored (brown or rust-colored) you can start re-using the overflow. But I agree... ...since brake fluid is about 10% more per gallon than it is per quart, just buy about four times what you think you'll need. If you store it, do so in a scrupulously clean container, and don't keep it for long. > Using a >squeeze bottle or preferably a pump type oil can with a plastic hose on it >that will fit over the little nipple on the wheel cylinder, open the bleeder >and pump in one stroke of fluid. Fill the hose with fluid before you attach it. No point in putting more air in. And don't let the can run dry. Any bubble you pump in must be pumped all the way to the reservoir and out!
