Looking for a recommendation for pressure bleeder that adapts to our reservoirs. Been bleeding the brakes via gravity and pedal pumping forever; maybe a pressure bleeder is in order now.

Thanks,
Jim

European car version on order. Mr. Bezos is supposed to deliver it tomorrow!

Isn't the reservoir vent a simple small hole in the cap? I'm thinking that bleeder replaces the cap and pushes fluid into the reservoir.

Am I missing something?

Early car vs late car. Early car has a nipple that leads a plastic line as a vent and drains out the bottom of the car, in the fantasy of the engineers, but in reality leaks all over the paint and causes rust in the frunk.

You have to plug it or you drive fluid right out of it under pressure or cant pressurize..
