[DeTomaso] brake master cyl still bad?

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

Unless your brake hose attaches to the highest point of the caliper that
method sounds inefficient. Normally the bleeder is put in that spot.

Mike,

Do you have a particular brand you like better than others you may have seen
or used?  I've always thought that the pressure system that forced the air
into the system at the bleeder end with the air then forced out at the fluid
resevoir looked like the best approach but they *are* pricey.  Around $300
as I remember.

I am totally sold on the whole pressure bleeder concept.  Instead of using
vacuum to suck the air out at the calipers, I now use pressure to push the
fluid from above.  Works great, and cheap!  Way less than $100.
