List,
Speed bleeders don't require repeated intructions, work every time, are much
less expensive, and don't talk back. Just sayin'.

G'day
In over 40 years of Austin-Healey ownership I have never been able to
understand why woman cannot comprehend the basics of brake bleeding.
I have forgotten how many times I have asked my wife to push the pedal when
I say and then let it up when I say, but it just never works. My sons on the
other hand have no problem with it.

Yes, for sure.
And getting my wife to sit in the car while I crawl around underneath and to
do what she's asked (told!) is a tough business. So much so that I take it
to the small local garage, hoist it up and get one of the boys there to
help. All after hours and cash in hand.

So would the brake bleeding mantra between my wife and I change from "Down,
Down, Up, Up" to "Almost Down, Almost Down, Up, Up" :)

Note:-
An interpretation of the paragraph, below, might imply that one tightens the
bleeder just as the pedal's downward stroke is ending. Not after it's
finished. That way no air can come in against the outward flow of fluid.
Works for me.
