Brake bleeder

I would like a copy of the diagram that goes with "The Barons" vacuum system brake bleeder.
It doesn't come up in the original thread anymore. It consists of a squeeze bottle and some aquarium tubing and t pieces. Can anyone supply the diagram please.

Thanks Alpine Raven and Baron Von Chicken Pants. Seems simple and foolproof. How effective is it ? I'll make one today !

If you are very careful and only use low air pressure you can put a couple of psi into the reservoir and low pressure bleed the system that way .

I had a half assed kit like this ages ago that got you to bleed the spare tyre down to about 3-4 psi and fed this into a spare drilled reservoir cap .

If you could find one even a large sized syringe connected to a clear plastic tube could do the job - from the bleeder end that is .
You shouldn't get air pulled back into the system provided no "assistant" is playing with the brake pedal ....

A .

I suggest if you have ANY doubts of your abilities or understanding of the system don't touch it , brake failures can be ugly .

Thanks for the info. I'm replacing the rear wheel cylinders. With this vacuum type system, could I just bleed the rear cylinders or is it necessary to do it the usual way from shortest line to longest line ?
