My old Subahu had ball bearings in the bleeders (cupped bolt,
floating ball bearing, round hole).  I dropped one once.  Took
me 20 minutes to find the dang thing.  They _did_ bleed easier
than any other car I've ever worked on.  Kinda a built-in
check valve kinda thing.  I've got the SpeedBleeders on Sonja
now.  Cool, but use the Teflon tape.  The threads don't seal
all that well, even only a 1/4 turn out.
