Mart, I made an adapter for my pressure bleeder perhaps 20, maybe 25 years ago.
SO very nice

With all of the fresh restorations I have done, I found this is the only way to quickly and positively fill all the new lines, cylinders, etc.
No fuss, no muss.

Please explain your exercise in futility comment. I always bled my brakes with 2 people. My wife and I. Always worked fine. Then I installed speed bleeders and they work great. I push a hose on the bleeder to a collection bottle and get in and pump away. Again never a problem. I stop often so my cylinder does not empty.
Now I have the dreaded DOT3 so bleed every other year.
So Mart, where are you having a problem?
