    1-man brake bleeding with Mityvac

    I've used the Mityvac for years with no problem. Nothing complicated about it. It just works and much less frustrating than yelling to someone to push/release the brake pedal. Also no chance of damaging the master cylinder by pushing to far on the pedal.

    If you have the room, a cold chisel on one of the corners of the bolt and a hammer should get it loose. Hold the chisel so when you strike it, it will turn the bolt. Then a socket will take it the rest of the way out.
