Kevin and Steve,
My son and I both have those speed bleeders on his Alpine and my Tiger.
One in front and one in rear handle it. Spring loaded valve allows
one-man bleeding, but an eyeball for "no bubbles" is helpful. Putting a
Mason Jar to catch fluid f/r will let you see the flow for clear and
bubble free while in the driver's seat. Fluid can be placed in a feeder
to the M/C, or re topping.
You only need 2 (1 front and one rear) for the car. They are about $7
each, and a soft plastic catch bag and hose (if you don't like glass)
are $6. For details and illustrations:
