[Shotimes] electronic brake bleeder

[Ron Porter]

If you are still doing the press-the-brake-pedal, two-person bleed
operation, spend the $50 for a pressure bleeder for a one-man operation:

The Universal Power Bleeder handles the SHO and many other cars. There are
other m/c plates for other vehicles.

This is the setup that makes the whole process almost automatic. Once it's
hooked up, you do the first flush, run the Thexton for the abs, then flush
again. The flush process is very quick if you have all four up on
jackstands. I find the setup process of jacking up the car, pulling wheels,
and setting up the bleeder takes far longer than the whole flushing process.

On eBay I bought one of those Thextron electronic brake bleeders.  You
disconnect the ABS computer and plug this thing in its place.  It's got just
two buttons, Start and Abort.

I've read the directions and still have a question.  Do I still need a
helper to press-hold-release the brake pedal while I bleed at each wheel?
It appears so.  I had hoped that this gizmo would enable me to bleed the
whole system more automatically.

Any tips?
