Anyone got a manual for a Hope Little Bleeder?
I made my own Little Bleeder out of an
old Gunson Eezi-Bleed I had lying around,
A cheap B&Q garden pressure sprayer
and a Hope Little Bleeder Mini Master Cylinder Cap.
I cut the pipe off the Gunson Eezi-Bleed/Little Bleeder and fitted it to the garden pressure sprayer. then used the Gunson reservoir as a catch tank for the brake fluid coming from the calliper bleed nipple.
I fill the Pressure sprayer with DOT fluid and pump it up so I don't have to use a car tyre to supply the air pressure to fill the system.
I been using the same system when I replace the brake lines on cars, found a Hope Mini Little Bleeder cap and seal for sale so bought it so I can bleed Hope Mono levers with the same system I use on car brakes.
It works well but the lever feels harder when connected to the pressure bleeder. once I refit the cap its not as hard. :?

You don't need it to bleed hope brakes, never used one (or needed to).
