This is a ridiculously ambiguous response to me clarifying an incorrect statement that there is "no chance" of introducing air into the system with a motive bleeder.

Are you just responding to respond? Your reply could literally apply to anything.

Yes, you were technically correct that it's not impossible, but we all know his comment was meant in relation to using the bleeder right. I mean come on, now.

I was gonna put a caveat like practically or almost no chance, but i figure if your that incompetent (or high/distracted ) that you still screw up and let the motive and the master go dry you probably should just not be doing the job. Clearly though that was a mistake so I'll go ahead and clarify my statement.

We knew what ya meant. If we had to add exceptions to all our posts for all the "what-ifs" and common-sense stuff, we'd all be typing novels. I.E. If you say you are using a compressor to air up your tires, we all assume you are gonna stop before you blow the tire off the wheel.

The Russel speed bleeders ended up working out the best for me, but they are more of a caliper mod then a tool you can use on other cars. They are sold in sets of 2 so you need 4 sets. $20 bucks a set is kinda over priced, I got them for 12 bucks a set delivered from amazon.

Speed bleeders are great if you have a way to know when the air bubbles are all out.
