Filling brake reservoir?

[kpoling]

I am getting everything together to bleed/flush the brakes and other hydraulics.

The space is tight above the cap on the brake reservoir so I cannot use my "auto" fill bottle. The other reservoirs seem just as confined.

Anyone have a better way than just tipping the 12oz small bottles?
(Of course I bought 3 - 32oz bottles of DOT3 for this)

Thanks, Kevin

I use a BIG medical syringe with a short length of plastic tubing attached..... I permanently keep it in my tools/parts box.

I use the Motive Power Bleeder from EI (#EPBBL) and it works very well and fits nicely in those tight spots.
For just topping off the fluid I do what Profpinz does. You can get large syringes from farm supply stores or veterinarians who care for large livestock (horses).

funnel and tubing for me, seems to work and available anywhere

Thanks for the responses!

Peter, you & Paul think alike. I will have to check out a farm store for the syringe.

Paul: I already have one of the venturi vacuum bleeders, so will use it. The power bleeders look trick!

4x4: That would work. I was eyeballing my extra plastic hand pump for gallon jugs of gear oil. It does not say if brake fluid will work in it or soften it up.
