ABS Brake Pad Replacement - What did I do? 900

I got one of the small pressure bleeders like the ones IPD sells a couple years ago. I DON'T KNOW HOW I EVER LIVED WITHOUT ONE! When I think of all the hours spent coaxing one of my kids or the wife to help and the time pushing on the pedal, I appreciate the bleeder even more.

I like the small ones because the amount of fluid needed to make it functional is less and the clean up after is easier. Just fill the bleeder with new fresh fluid, connect to an air pressure source and the master's reservoir and go to each wheel in turn until fresh fluid comes through. What used to be a several hour project is now accomplished in about 1/2 hour.

I have an air compresser but a spare tire would work just as well as an air pressure source.
