RE: brake bleeding.

I use a pressure bleeder from snap-on (a gift in part) and I have found that
if you pump it up over 10-12 pounds, you will be hard pressed to seal the 
master cylinder from leakage.  With that caveat, it works great. I had an 
extra master cylinder cap modified for the hydraulic fitting.  It sure is
nice to bleed by going around to each side and opening the bleeders, watch
the fluid come out till its clean and close the bleeders.  No more brake
pumping.

Since I bleed once or more every race weekend, this is appreciated.

                        186,000 miles per second, it's not just a good idea
                        it's the law!
