<DIV><FONT size=2>I really don't understand the problem, I must be missing
something. One fits the hose, opens the bleeder, bleeds, closes the
bleeder, and removes the tube. The only fluid that escapes is that which
has been pushed out of the system and will be discarded. What tool you use
to open and close the bleeder has no effect on that.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Using whatever tool works best for the job in hand is just
common-sense to me. I'll frequently use a socket to crack nuts and bolts
in many places on the car for its strength, then switch to a ratchet ring
spanner to remove them for its speed.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>The only repeat bleeding I have to do is at the calipers using
EeziBleed for low-pressure bleeding, then high-pressure bleeding with someone
pressing down hard on the pedal while I rapidly open and shut each caliper
nipple in turn which always blasts a bit more air out.</FONT></DIV>

is anything to go by.</FONT></DIV>

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.</BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
