Brief Description:  Brakes - bleeder ball

Per plans in KitPlanes, fabricated a 'brake bleeder ball' and used it to bleed the brakes 'again'. The need arose as a result of needing to add thread sealant to the fittings on the Matco master cylinders on the Pilot rudder pedals. They were weeping some and could not be tightened and 'clocked' to align with hoses.

Added the sealant but traditional method of bleeding was unsatisfactory.

The bleeder ball worked very well with compressed air, approx 20-30 psi, and sufficient fluid in the ball for the 2nd attempt. The reservoir attachment caught all the overflow without mess, and the lid only leaked a little air pressure. A little messy but cleaned up okay.

Needs further work - add legs.
