Re: fuel line primer bulbs
I use a syringe i bought for £3. Connect to caliper with some 5mm tubing and pump the fluid back up to the MC.
Works a treat, great lever with no messing about

Re: fuel line primer bulbs
For pressure or vacuum? I was all set to use my oil extractor as a vacuum bleeder this weekend, but it turned out not to be needed as conventional bleeding did the trick. Using your primer bulb to push fluid back into the calliper, I think you might have problems getting all the air out of the bulb.
