Guys,
You are more than welcome for the information As far as how your getting the fluid out now, I would only make sure you are not leaving a ton of air in the lines (then you have no brakes, bummer) when doing such.

I still remember helping the techs who use to work for me by setting up in the car on the rack and pumping up the system to get them to bleed. It pretty much took about 15 full pumps of the pedal to build up enough system pressure and that was just for one cracking of the bleeder valve on each line. So on a boat trailer with those long brake line runs, you could have to work that wrench (great idea) quite a bit (sounds like a 2 man operation also) to get out all the air along with several bottles of fresh brake fluid for sure

I still think we need to "cook up" a home built low pressure power flusher out of Home Depot / Lowes store parts, patten the idea, and make us some real "Fishing" money! Ha-Ha...

Dave
