I bought a Mity-Vac in hopes that I could make the frequent bleeding of
my vintage racer's brakes a one-person job.
Tried it out this week on an empty system and was sorely diappointed.
The bubbles coming down the plastic tube, which I've always used as a
sign of how well the system was bled, were just too plentiful to give an
indication.
I'm pretty sure they were from leakage around the bleeder screw.
Instructions say to use silicone grease in this area to prevent this,
but I didn't have any, so I resorted to asking friend wife for help
pumping the pedal again.
Anyone have sords of wisdom, advice, similar experiences, or want to buy
my Mity-Vac, used once, for half price?
