I am fairly new to this and do not know whether your technique already has been 
'broadcasted' on the web or not, but if it is an alternative to the ezebleed, 
could you have some time to fill me in?

Thanks,

Kevin,

I just put my '74 Midget back on the road after major steel, paint, 
and engine work.  I installed a roller bearing release bearing from 
MiniMania and it works very well.  I also put in a teflon braided 
hose from Moss, and the combination feels very good.  The worst part 
is getting the hydraulics bled again, but I found a technique that 
seems to work.
