OK Here it is again - try this.
cut a hole in the bottom of the film can to fit the tubing tightly.
Instert one end of the tubing into the hole in the film can. Slip the
film can onto the hose from the shop vac. Put the other end of the tubing
on the bleed nipple. Make sure the resivoir is full!! (I forgot and had
to start all over) Open bleed nipple. Turn on vac. It helps to have
someone watch the
fluid level. And it helps if you use clear tubing. Simple heh?
