I bought a Mity-Vac but found my fittings left too
much air in to verify an acurate bleed. It was great
to pull the bulk of the air out and then it took about
one pump per bleed nipple to verify there was no
bubbles. I think next time I can pick up an old MC
cap I will so I can test the pressure method.
