Well I had to battle a really annoying front brake problem where I could not get the air out of the system trying 4 or 5 different methods I've used over the years. Some times, you just got a gremlin that won't get out....

Well, a vacuum pump ALWAYS works to bleed the brakes but not everyone has a vacuum brake bleeder (I sure don't.....well, didn't :) )

So...a little light bulb went off in my head after fighting this thing for a few hours and this is what I came up with.

Every single person here FOR SURE will have the guts out of a squirt bottle at home :crackup:. Just go raid the wife's cleaning cabinet and break out the tilex bottle....Boom..instant free bleeder. This fixed my problem in 5 seconds flat after beating on it for what felt like forever.

Anyway...from me to you.. now you know a little trick for the future!
