Doesn't the power steering reservoirs usually come with a red cap? Don't think I've seen a master cylinder with one.

This is what I am talking about. I am wondering if anyone has bled the high pressure fitting on the Modulator w/o the special tool "Bleeder T-Wrench"?
I was thinking that perhaps some shop rags around a 6 point socket on an extension and cracking the bleeder slowly would be adequate for dealing with the high pressure?
TIA,

Use a 9mm multihex 3/8 socket, fits perfect and gets the job done. I've bled about 5 different ABS systems using the 9mm socket with no issues now.

Has anyone tried the Solo Blled from Earl's?
They look interesting, but I am reluctant to tamper with the factory design of brake systems...
