brake bleeders pressure vs suction
Ok I have always used a pressure type bleeder with great results. I am working on a difficult set up wheer my adapters will not fit over the master in it's under floor location. Has anybody ever used a Pheonix or pull type set up??? Don't want to waste a $150 as I have my doubts about them. Thanks

I purchased a Phoenix Injector and have not been too happy with it.
So much so, I purchase another bleeder (after recommendations from a friend) from Motive Products. Works so well !!

The best / easiest way I have found is pressure bleeding.
You don't need a fancy high $ system either.
I just use a steel plate and a Master clyinder gasket. The plate is held onto the MC with a big C-Clamp. I have a tire inflator type nipple screwed into the plate and I hook it up to the ol Schwinn bicycle pump. Pump it up to about 10-15 psi and bleed away.
You do need to check the fluid level in the MC once in a while, but thats not a big deal. Bets bleeding system ever.

I have always found it quicker and easier to push air up from the caliper to the master cylinder with a pressure bleeder.
Air rises in a fluid, why fight it? Just help it along.
