That's why I would never use one of those things. Brake fluid destroys paint, you know.
You must know someone who can pump the brake pedal for you. Takes maybe 30 minutes.
Actually best to have a 3rd person keeping the reservoir topped up. Otherwise someone has to keep checking it.
Fortunately I have 2 sons who live nearby. :)

Julian,Discard the ridiculous chain affair and use a piece of steel or block of wood on top of the adapter and use a large C-clamp to get a good seal. I am rather less impressed with my Motive Products pressure bleeder after the hose broke off the nipple on top of the unit and it sprayed brake fluid all over my car, and all over the motorcycle next to it, and all over the garage. You haven’t lived until you have seen a geyser of brake fluid spraying all over your garage and there’s almost no way to stop it!MikeSent from my iPad> On Mar 1, 2018, at 19:55, Julian Kift <julian_kift at hotmail.com> wrote:> > Mike,> > I have a Motive pressure bleeder, it's a great device that allows brake> bleeding single handed.
