Brake bleeder

I've been subscribed to Gerry since he started making videos on rocket stoves,. He's come up with a lot of clever designs using mostly repurposed materials. I was certain that I was going to build one, but never did, so lived vicariously through him and continued using my Perfection kerosene heaters in my garage.

Too bad he hadn't uploaded this video a few days earlier. I replaced the entire clutch hydro on my Honda Element with a K-Tuned set and spent hours two weeks ago trying to bleed it. I tried the Honda factory service manual process; I tried K-Tuned's instructions, the seller's instructions, but got nothing. I have a nice pressure bleeder, but don't have the correct cap for the Honda clutch reservoir. I have a vacuum bleeders, but it corroded in storage, so it didn't work. I have a bleeder wrench kit that has a check valve that's supposed to self-bleed, but none of them worked, so I gave up and paid a shop $100 to do it.
I have eleventy million of these spray bottle heads, but it hadn't occurred to me that they have a check valve in them. Duh.
