I bought one of those vacuum bleeders from AutoZone. Boy is that thing handy
!

I have used it for more than just a brake bleeder.
Cleaned wiper washer lines, checked vacuum diaphragms, kids even used it for
a science project.  That Science project justified the $30.00 to the wife !
I love science.
