Those high pressure bleeders are strange creatures. I have only used that type, and never the oil can like Tools uses. They do seem to require alot of hand pressure to pump. I think it is because fo the check valve that is in them.Like yo have to force thru that or something. That has always made me wonder how much pressure it takes using an oil type pump. Been meaning to try that. If you pumped thru the bleeder and it got into the m/c reservoir,there shouldn't be any air in the system. Tools' idea on the brake line innards is a very good point.
