I tried a pressure setup that I purchased from a vendor, and then
modified it to fit my TR6. In my only attempt at using the pressure
bleeder, I had issues with even modest amounts of pressure causing the
reservoir to leak. Pressed for time, I simply did it the old fashioned
way.
I may revisit the setup and see if it was operator error.

Subject: Re: DIY brake/clutch pressuer bleeder -- from shop-talk
I didn't include all the conversation from shop-talk. One suggestion was
to use a tire valve stem to make the connections in the center of the MC
cap (cover the air vent) and the garden sprayer. Then remove the valve
stems.
Just a thought -- you may still be correct. I bought a Mity-Vac but
these guys say the fittings leak, and pressure works better than
suction. Based on your comments, I'll be sure to try my Mity-Vac before
I build this.
More thoughts/experiences?
