Make sure you use mil spec fluid as well
bleed from bottom up , till air gone into master cylinder.
Have a rag on floor to catch any that over fills .
Good Luck.

cheaper than the $80 bleeders from ATS or ACS.

like maybe you would hook the bottom tube up to the caliper and the top one
to the master cylinder. Hang the bottle up high, and gravity would push the
5606 through the system and air back into the bottle. Anyone ever used one of
these. Seems like it would be pretty easy to make your own.

All,
This pre-order price is at a reduced cost (low quantity).
If 200 tires are ordered we will reduce the cost per tire by $1.25.
If 400 are ordered the cost per tire will reduce $2.10 per tire.
We will wait a few more days before we announce our production decision, but it
appears we will not produce any tires this year
Best Regards,
Kevin R.

That sounds easy enough. I like the syringe idea, since it seems to be the easiest
to avoid bubbles and a sore hand. As long as I can find one large enough.
About how much hydraulic oil should I need for 3/16" OD Nylaflo tubing on the
extended bush gear?
Thanks Dave for the heads up on the brake fluid. I already saw on the other posts
what can happen if you don't use 5606. I'll probably stop by an FBO and buy
whatever they have in stock, but if I have to order from ACS, does it matter
5606G or 5606H? The "H", which I assume is a later and greater spec, is actually
cheaper.

I think the H is later than the G and should be fine.
I not sure about the syringe idea but it if works then great. You wold have to
get some hose and clamp it on to it .
You can buy a cheap oil can with a hose on it and cut the metal end off and
slide it right on the Bleeder and pump it ........ you should not get any air
this way.

I would like to replace the old, discolored sight guage tubing on my wing tanks.
Can someone tell me what tubing to use? What specifically do I look for and
where might I find it.
Thanks.

I'm sure it will, but would need to be certified to do so by the manufacturer.
