I told that old tech his quick trick for bleeding brakes was bunk. I was dead wrong.
Guy named Larry showed me this method using a piece of aquarium tubing and a check valve from a fish pump. Took me 3 tries on a 1998 F-150 before I admitted it actually worked better than my $200 pressure bleeder. Anyone else have a seasoned mechanic prove you wrong with some backyard hack?

Admit it, we've all been there. Watching YouTube tutorials feels like secret sauce until a guy with greasy fingernails and a bent paperclip shows you up in five minutes flat. That aquarium tubing trick is pure sorcery, I swear. Now I look at my expensive Craftsman bleeder and feel personally attacked by a fish pump. You going to stick with the hack or go back to the fancy stuff now that you know both work?
