I've been out of the country for a week, so forgive me if this has already been covered.
I just built a pressure bleeder per: http://www.bmw-m.net/TechProc/bleeder.htm and now need to get busy and use it Ther have been a few changes to the Ace tank since the article was written - I used the sprayer hosa that came with it rather than new due to the screw-on connection that replaced the clamp on connection in the article.
