I use the one man brake bleeder they sell at Harbor Freight. It works, just takes some time.

I dont use the little black needle things, I take the hose and press it over the bleeder valve, it stays on there great.

blah... this is the brake master cylinder... not the caliper.. there are no bleeder valves... there's 2 lines.. one that runs to the front brakes...one to the rear, their threaded holes which the lines thread into

what u need is a 2-inch peice of line with the fitting on the end (keep in tool box for these occasions)

you put the i peice on there & tighten the fitting then just hose clamp a peice of vac. line on it. :)

just be creative.
