Hi,

You really don't need that much pressure to bleed the system, 1 - 3 psi is
all you need. If you go more than a small amount of pressure, you will
make a HUGE mess if anything lets go.

Trust me on this. I used a spare tire pumped to 40 PSI with an EZ-bleed
once. I got fluid all over the garage when the reservoir to MC seals
failed. What a mess!
