Re: Why - only one caliper works

The weed sprayer bleeder is a pressure pot that pushes the fluid down from the top. Hence the need for a sealed cover on the MC.
I own both a pressure bleeder and a Mityvac. I'll never go back to vacuum bleeding brakes.

Nice!

I'm thinking about making something like that to push anti-freeze through my outside pipes after shutting the water off/draining, to prevent freezing.

Hatzie you contribution is appreciated! Thanks.

I'll keep these in mind should I still be at a dead end after my troubleshooting...which I haven't had a chance to make any progress on yet.
