Re: bleeding brakes
I can recommend the Mityvac vacuum hand pump. It makes short work of pulling the fluid through. It will also pull air round the nipple threads so expect some bubbles, which in my experience are not a problem. As mentioned already the threads can be sealed with ptfe tape if required.
