This is my Shaky Industries One Man Bleeder™
Its survived 13 years with much the same brake fluid in it 
I wouldn't mind putting together a decent one like above however...
I might give it a go.

I couldn't get all of the air out of my brake lines until Sitnlo bled them using his home made pressure brake bleeding thingy. Similar to this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdcn1USVQ-w |

Thanks for sharing. Might hit the garden shed and nick the wife's roses sprayer while she's not looking! |

Thing to take notice of, the seals in the sprayer might be lubricated with a lubricant which might affect the brake seals. Clean everything with metho and lubricate with rubber grease or brake fluid. |

Good hints Morris 1100. Sitnlo used a long hose so that whilst opening and closing bleed nipples he could apply pressure as needed. Worked a treat. No need to push the pedal. PS. he didn't fit a gauge to his pressure pot. |

With my own pressure sprayer for the garden I drilled a half inch hole and pulled a tubeless Schrader valve into it. No pumping the handle, I just blow it up with the tyre gauge and compressor. |

I saw a good one of these where the brake fluid was in a second jar between the sprayer and the Master Cylinder. |

Wow just watched that video... painful im gonna have to go check I have a number 15 spanner and a 80 different drill bits to get from 1/8 to a half drill bit.... Im sorry but if you have to listen to that idiot to work out how to build a brake bleeder you certainly shouldnt be bleeding brakes... |

How much is an EziBleed?? Not much.. Or you can go the other and get a vacuum pump - which I think works better... Cheers, Ian |

You could at least use a clear piece of hose Mick! My bleeder must be a different brand though because it's made from and old plastic laundry liquid bottle. |
