Jerry,
I am by far no expert, but have tried the MityVac on a number of vehicles 
(bleeding brakes and hydraulic clutch systems), and have tried a variety of 
approaches all of which have been mostly frustrating.   Either I am not able to 
decipher the manual properly or am missing something in the process, but I have 
not found it worth the money.  I have not used the EZ Bleed system.
The best investment I have found is the Speed Bleeders.  I have used them on my 
TR6 and they worked like a dream.  Easy to bleed the with just one person, and 
I have not had any problems with them.  I will be installing another set on my 
Jeep Cherokee.  I got mine from Russell Products, but they don't sell direct to 
the general public now.  I've seen them (I think) in the latest Moss catalog.  
Also Jegs ((800) 345-4545  ext 334) and Summit ((800) 230-3030) offer them in 
their catalogs.

Good luck.  If you get the EZ Bleed let me know how it works.

Hello,

Here's a question for the masses.  I'm thinking about purchasing a brake
bleeder pump from Victoria British.  The question I have deals with of
the two available the MityVac or the EZ Bleed which one is better?  Or
am I just wasting my money?  Any info would be appreciated.
