Sounds like the consensus is leaning a little more towards pressure bleeding. I have the Phoenix V-90 unit already. I've been wanting to get the Motive Pressure bleeder for my old cars but I don't think it would work on the girling fluid cans. I've had problems with vacuum bleeding and air leakin back around the bleeder screws too. I may start out gravity bleeding and then finish up with the Phoenix unit.

The plastic tube from the bleeder all the way back to the master fluid can is unique. Kind of like a large scale bench bleeder for master cylinders.

On pedal bleeding I'm curious - with the dual master cylinder set up, once the rear brakes are bleed and have a firm pedal, does that interfer with stroking the pedal to bleed the front circuit?

Thanks for all the input.
