    its gravity bleeding now... until i can find a cap to fit for my diy pressure bleeder, or find a neighbor to pump my pedal.. im just worried thats what caused my cylinder to fail last time, pushing the pedal to the floor when the bleeder valve is opened.

    If the cylinder is old, then the seals will be weak from not being pushed through the full cycle.

    The cap is the same cap used on most european cars and you should be able to pick one up from auto parts store off the shelf.

        GM cap for like 2000 and goop up the little grove in the threads with some RTV works like a charm and the thing is like 3 bucks from the HELP rack

            none of the auto parts stores here carry that Help! Part number in stock! what the hell?!


            i gravity bleed them succesfully today, after 3 hours of waiting, i invented a forced gravity bleeder. i just found a juice bottle that fit in the MC cap and squeezed pressure onto the system. Def made it a little faster for the fronts. you could noticably see fluid moving out faster.
