I tried to bleed the brakes with a little pump can like others have talked about doing. Well it made a big mess and did not work well. I asked a fellow RV builder (thanks Larry) about how he did it and found out from him that I could make a small pump sprayer into a pressurized brake bleeder. Here is how I made mine and it works great. It does take two people to do the job. I bought a 1-1/2 quart pump sprayer from Lowes allow with three different size pieces of tubing I put the tubing together and zip tied them to help hold them together. I used a small plug that came out of an instrument to attach another short piece of tubing to use as an overflow line to hold on the reservoir so the extra brake fluid could be caught in a bottle. Now this is the to do this job! When the job is all done the tubing can be stored in the tank to keep from losing it.  	  Quote:

Why not just buy a "Mity-Vac" ,which is made for this kind of job ???

 Harbor freight tools has one model for about 15 bucks and it has the things  needed to do the job.   More expensive models have more equipment and  are re-buildable.
