On the LNC2 I need pressure at the bleeder valves. I have 2 Matco reservoir on the brake petals. I use an oil can with a plastic hose. You need another person watching up top for overflow but it only takes a few minutes. The best way to solve the bubble in the line problem when using this technique is to completely drain the brake line of fluid before starting the fill. My whole LNC2 system only contains a few ounces of fluid. > From: "Giffen Marr" > Date: March 13, 2008 11:21:29 AM GMT-04:00 > > Great suggestion on a brake bleeder, until I got to ACS and found > they wanted $61.
