It is not convenient to constantly change tools when one is dealing with a nasty corrosive liquid, rubber hoses and glass jars. Every time you disengage the hose, all the fluid escapes, requiring that many more pumps the next time. One cannot always know when the circuit has been adequately bled until one tightens every bleeder and tests the pedal. One frequently has to repeat the process at each wheel. This is why a tiny, fragile hex on the bleeder is a particular annoyance, and one that should be entirely unnecessary.<div><br><div><br></div><div><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPad</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On May 24, 2020, at 3:05 AM, PaulHunt73 via Mgs <<a href="mailto:mgs@autox.team.net" target="_blank">mgs@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">
