The pressure bleeding via brake system is an interesting idea, but how do
you keep the fluid flowing?  Wouldn't you need some sort of check valve to
keep the fluid from pulling back to the MC as you pump the pedal?

Ditto, Don and Scott!

  But, I may never get to use it;  I have both a Motive unit and and auto
transmission.

  I wonder, if you get a long enough hose, could a person bleed a different
vehicle's brake/ clutch systems (using the good vehicle's brake system for
pressure)?
  Hmmmm, we may haved stumbled onto something here. It seems to me to be a
'poor man's' version of a power-bleeder!
  I volunteer Scott to give it a try, and report back to us all.............

  Neat trick.

    Power bleeding with a Motive Power bleeder is the better way than a
Vacuum
  Bleeder...
    When you are alone, the pressure-style bleeding systems are pretty
  fool-proof.  I used to sometimes bleed brakes a couple of times per day in
  my racecar..So I do have some experience with that stuff.
