    The simple ideas are often the best. Might help someone bleed the brakes on their XJ.

    Very cool.
    Definitely something I'll be trying on the rear disc brakes.

    I cringed a little when I saw all that brake fluid mist going wherever, but that should be easy enough to contain. Much better than the purpose kit I bought, whose seals wore out after one or two jobs..

    I used a big syringe and tubing last time I bled my brakes.
