Has anyone used the one man brake bleeder kits. I see they come in two variants.
A pressure bleeder which you attach to the brake master and pump up to pressurise a container. Then you open the bleeder nipple and have the fluid pushed out until is bubble free.
and a vacuum bleeder which usually involves attaching an air compressor to a bottle which is connected to the nipple and it sucks the fluid from the master reservoir out of the nipple.
I have heard the pressure set up is best as the vacuum set up can let air in via the nipple threads
Anyone have any thoughts or experience?
I usually do it the traditional way with someone pumping the pedal but Id like an easier and simpler way that I could do on my own.
