I plan to bleed my brakes within the next couple of weeks using the Motive power bleeder. In the past, I've always relied on the "pedal push" method and managed to recruit my significant other or one of my sons to help ... but the power bleeder offers the convenience of one person being able to do the work alone ... so I thought I would try it out. One question: What pressure should you bring the power bleeder vessel up to for bleeding the lines? I recall that AK used 15 lbs (I think) in his DIY video ... but I'm not sure if he was just guessing. Is there a recommended min/max range? The instructions that come with the bleeder aren't helpful in this regard. Any advice from those of you who have used the bleeder is welcomed. Thanks!
