Instead, pressure-led bleeding moves the fluid through at a fast enough rate to prevent bubbles from moving upwards through the fluid. My experience is that the latter is much easier, much faster, and more effective. Can do it with only one person, too. I suggest you either get a mechanic with the right fittings to apply pressure from the fluid reservoir, or build your own. There have been some good instructions posted in the past 2-3 months on how do build a suitable device. /Robert Gothenburg Sweden.
