Vacuume bleeder

So im bleeding my brakes with a Mighty Vac for 2.1/2 hours and realize the air is being drawn through the bleeder screws threads.
When you use the 2 person method the pressure in the lines holds the bleeder against its threads. Word to the wise (not me) save 2.1/2 hours and just get a buddy to help.

I hear you. A while back a purchased some so-called speed bleeders. Nightmare. I finally resorted to "wife help."
