Did anyone else find that their bleeder screw leaks air like crazy? I couldn't use that thing at all...

The problem with a vacuum bleeder is that it fights the natural path that the trapped air wants to travel, you are pulling the fluid down but the trapped air wants to travel upwards so in essence you are fighting against the air in the line, and yes it works awesome on brakes. I have used it and it gets consistent ressults every time a nice firm pedal feel.

That makes sense. Never thought of that.
