Compliments of Shadow_Hare:

Be sure to keep reservoir replenished as this may work fast.

Step 1: Hook vacuum to jar:



Step 2: Attach small tube from jar to brake caliper bleed valve:



Turn on vacuum and open bleed valve. Keep reservoir replenished, and after fresh brake fluid starts flowing into jar close bleed valve, top off reservoir, and you're done.

Nice work, i find also if you go to a Vets or know someone with Horses ( or a farmer) get a BIG Syringe... one that holds about 100ml or more.. then use that to SUCK on the bleed nipple with a tube attached.
Works perfectly.

Sorry for the thread Hijack.
If you cant fix it with a Hammer....... it's gotta be an Electrical problem...

I use a cheap rubber tennis ball size syringe with a short length of clear tube pressed onto the tip, then suck it full of fresh brake fluid, press out any air, press clear tube onto the loosened bleed nipple, and inject brake fluid until the fluid enters and partially fills the master cylinder reservoir.

Then bleed in the usual manner.

Good Fortune! :)
