[alfa] Re: Brake Bleeding

["V. Lalo Ruiz" <Lalo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Guys-

Sorry to say it, but you're all doing it that hard way.  This has got to be
one of my favorite tools next to my automotive lift.

Get the European Power Bleeder.  All you do is fill it with brake fluid.  Spin
the cap on the master.  Pump it to 10-15 psi.  Then walk around the car with
clear tubing and a jar opening each bleed screw until no more air comes out,
or in the case of annual fluid replacement, until clear fluid comes out.  I
can change the fluid or bleed the brakes and clutch in any of my Fiats or
Alfas in 10 minutes flat.  No mess, no assistance required, no pre-bleeding of
master cylinders.

For you handy types, modify the cap like I did by adding an air line quick
disconnect between the cap and the hose.

It's the best $48 I've ever spent!  No, I don't own stock in the company nor
do I get a kickback.
