My old Subahu had ball bearings in the bleeders (cupped bolt,
floating ball bearing, round hole). I dropped one once. Took
me 20 minutes to find the dang thing. They _did_ bleed easier
than any other car I've ever worked on. Kinda a built-in
check valve kinda thing. I've got the SpeedBleeders on Sonja
now. Cool, but use the Teflon tape. The threads don't seal
all that well, even only a 1/4 turn out.
