I seem to have missed the complaints about pressure bleeding. Many years
ago someone on this List posted a link to a sale on EeziBleed from some
Volvo parts supplier. I picked one up and have used it ever since. My only
complaint was that it did not come with a cap for the later Midget's
massive brake master, so I had to make my own. Darn. Best fast way to
bleed a Spridget clutch, too.

You can also get a simple check valve and some PVC tubing to make a
bleeder.
https://www.mcmaster.com/7757k45

I sometimes find it useful to flush or "backflush" fluid through with
syringes.  I tend to avoid "backflushing" (pushing fluid from the bleeder
back through the system) unless i know the system has been recently flushes
so I know I'm not sending junk back toward the master cylinder.

Yes Ron, this is what David told me about I just don't understand why
some say "I've never had any luck with them". I'm willing to give it a
try.
