I have asked around, and no store here carries or rents out any kind of pressure bleeder. I am sure that my brakes can last another week or so for a bleeder to arrive... but my window of opportunity is this long weekend, and, like I said, I was COMPLETELY prepared for extensive suspension work, and totally unprepared for brake stuff. I took it in to the shop on a mysterious hunch.

I probably will get the folks at Meineke to flush my system for $40 once I do the brakes... I have been given the impression that bleeding the brakes isn't necessary if you let the MC overflow when you push back the caliper pistons. Is that dangerous for the MC?

In the meantime I will check out this link. Maybe I can drop by Walmart and improvise a bleeder like you suggest.

Thanks!
