RV-12 brake bleeding system

Thanks to a conversation with Larry Geiger, I stole an idea he stole from someone else - HA . 1 gallon gardern sprayer, modified with putting a 3/16" plastic hose on the end of the wand in place of the small spray end.

I also put a 1/8" plastic hose barb elbow on the reservoir with a plastic hose on it to a can in case of over-flow.

I am going to note what I was able to watch since the 'pump' was doing the work, with a steady flow of brake fluid into the bleeder at the wheel. If I did nothing, the fluid flowed all thru the system, but after I pushed on each brake for that side, there was still air at the masters. I found that by pushing the pedal ( not brake ) forward, and giggling it, the air would move on if the flow was still on.

I hope this saves you some time. I know there has been lots of issues getting these brakes bleed well. Hope this helps.
