I've used a phoenix pressure system that forces fluid from the slave? To
the master on a few tough cookies!!

Neil has a good point here, although a pressure bleeder certainly is the

(censoring myself there in case anyone was overtly offened by my assertion,
odd that crap in this instance really implies something whereas my original

really doesn't so much...)  too much pressure can cause issue with aged
resevoir
to MC grommets.  Probably can't blow a clutch line off as they are usually
pretty
tightly on, but they may seep as well.  I don't think you'll rupture a
resevoir or have
fluid squirting all about even at 20psi or so, but you may well seep on the
bottom.

Tis a risk, but they work nicely.  Sure you could home fab one easily but
I've seen
the Euro adapter only one for $45 or so, hard to beat for that money.
