Yep, that's how I do it too. Quick, easy and no mess (well, unless you forget to release the air pressure *before* loosening the drain bolt on the fork - then you can clean up the entire, frickin' garage and yourself as well, right?). After buying the pump for the fork oil, I had it for bleeding the brakes too. More difficult on the missus' Sportster...

Get you one of those shutoff valves they sell for air tools. Then you can control the vac without shutting off the pump. Works real well on those old cars when the brake system are brand new and completely dry, and cuts down on the carpal tunnel outbreaks. -- Old Crow '82 FLTC(P) 92" '87 FLTC '61 F-100 302/C-6 BS#133, SENS, TOMKAT, SLOB#13, MAMBM |
