Default Bleeder valve....

I could have sworn that I read a post on here where someone gave a link or mentioned a bleeder valve that you can buy that makes bleeding brakes a one man operation just by loosening it and then it uses a ball bearing to let the air escape... u replace your bleeder valve with this new bleeder vavle and just leave it on... ring a bell with anyone and if so do you have the link by chance? Seems like it might of been a company like Rick something or another???

Use a hypodermic syringe that they use for cattle . Slip some clear hose on the end instead of the needle. Slip the other end on the bleeder screw and pull up on the plunger of the syringe to create vacume. Open bleeder screw and bleeding will start. About 5 bucks at vet stores or farm service outlets. You'll find other uses for it too in the workshop.
