it has a check valve (of sorts) it moves fluid from one end to the other its cheep your thoughts? |

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

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.
