http://www.bmw-m.net/TechProc/bleeder.htm  Pretty cool brake bleeder. Anyone made one of these? If not, make one and report back. I will do the same.

I bought one of the cheap ones from harbour freight, it only really works if there is fluid already in the system.  I tried to use it on the singlecab when I first did the lines, it would not work Smiley

i got a cheap one, too. It worked fine. I had so much rust in my lines! New hoses, new fluid, now I need new rear brakes shoes and I think my RR drum needs turning since there was a little rubbing in one spot. It was way tight before though. Oil Pressure gauge will be finished up this weekend I hope. Hope to get my front table in this weekend, too.

I haven't seen one of those. We'll have a cookout and you can bleed everyone's brakes. You eat Kobe steak, don't you?
