<VV> Bleeders

[Frank DuVal]

I would have said the same thing a year ago. But, now I have had bleeder 
screws so loose that the mighty vac couldn't keep up well enough for me. 
Teflon tape  solved the leak.

I also use the "coke" bottle method. The new plastic bottles work well 
(except for the falling over part!) as you can screw the cap back on.
