Brad,
I've tried a couple of types. The first was an EZ-BLEED (I think), which is
basically just some tubing w/ a special end on it that only lets fluid and
air flow in one direction. That way you can attach it, loosen the nipple,
go pump the peddle, and then go back and tighten the nipple. I guess this
works OK -- but I've never been able to figure out if you've gotten all the
air out since you can't see the darn thing while you are sitting in the car
pumping the brakes!
The second one I've used is the Mityvac. With this one, instead of doing
any peddle pumping, you use a vacuum to suck the fluid and air through. It
seems to work OK --- but in spite of all the gimmicks, having a helper pump
brakes while I worked around the car still seemed to work better and faster
than the alternatives.
