Actually, I used a squeeze bottle from the local craft store, with some nylon tubing.
Worked great (twice).

Go to NAPA, Car Quest or any other store that sells a oil squiter can th
at has the pump on it.. Should cost 10 bucks or so,.... Get flexible tu
bing that fits over the tip and fits the brake bleeder fitting on the ca
liper. Fill the oil squirter with brake fluid, remove the small plug fro
m the top of the master cylinder and fill the system from the bottom up.
. Took me about 5 minutes for my 801 and I got a brand new oil squirter
after I finished the job.<G>

Steve:
What type of brake fluid reservoir do you have?
I would recommend and use MIL-H-5606 fluid.
Use a Oil Can Pump and a flexible hose and a fitting that locks on to the
brake fitting at the brakes.
BLEED - PUMP from the bottom UP.
After you respond to the question I can tell you how to keep it clean.

Steve,
For some reason I can't explain airplane brakes are filled from the
bottom and the fluid is forced up to the reservoir. This is just the
opposite of the way cars are done.
Go figure.

Hi Paul:
If you think about it -.-.- It is very logical.
Cars are ground bound vehicles. Gravity works in a downward direction
pulling to the center of the earth. So, by pumping the brake fluid from
the top down you aid in keeping the car on the ground.
Planes are always trying to break the surly bonds of earth and by pumping
the brake fluid up, you aid in reducing the effects of gravity and
lightening the plane.
Simple huh!
