I'm bleeding the brakes on my Boxster tommorow and think I may take a short-cut. My Carrera style wheels have pretty big gaps in between the spokes and I was able to get the tube over the bleeder nipple and fit the allen wrench on the bleeding valve(didn't turn it though as I'm bleeding the brakes tommorow). Does anyone see a problem with me bleeding the brakes and master cyclinder with the wheels on the car?
