I had the same wifely unit problems along with the "I can't reach the damn
pedal!" issue. So I went to the local auto parts store and got a device
that has a plastic tube with a one way valve at one end, I don't recall the
name - ez bleed or something. It cost around $5.00. You simply slip it
over the bleed nipple slide a plastic holder over to keep in place, open the
bleeder and go pump the pedal. Works great, used several times on both
brakes and clutch. Of course that all it does, won't vacuum out the ash
tray, or any of those other applications for Mighty-Vac.

Subject: Mity-vac brake bleeding? - No LBC content
Anyone using the Mity-vac unit for brake bleeding? My wife is an unwilling
helper ("I'm bored, are we done yet?"). THis was not an option when I was
a child growing up and pumping the brake pedal for my father. I need to be
able to bleed brakes by myself. I already gravity bleed and then get my
wife to pump the pedal if any air remains after gravity bleeding. Other
suggestions for brake bleeding equipment?
