Harbor Freight and such sell a manual vacuum pump, inlcuding a clever
bottle used to intercept and observe fluid sucked out of the bleeder
screw. Just need to keep the master cylinder level up. My IA/A&P
with 50 yrs exp, and erstwhile A&P school instructor, had never seen
that technique and was rather amazed as I was quickly completing a
brake ass'y swap. It's handy also to find leaks in static lines, if
very careful to avoid sudden pressure changes in pressure instruments.
