Yes, Derek, I did find and modify a standard non-sensor reservoir cap from a
local wrecking yard. I drilled a hole in the cap and installed a brass hose
barb. To this was connected a hose from a 1 gallon pressure sprayer
container. (Available at home centers in the garden area for about $10.oo)
I put a couple of quarts of brake fluid into the container, screwed the cap
to the reservoir, and pressurized the container.  Then, I was able to bleed
the system by opening the bleeder screw and watching the fluid until it ran
clear and bubble free. (Note: I still had a catch container for the brake
fluid ala clear hose through rubber grommet in a jar lid)
Cheers,
