Hi,

There is an issue with that European Motive Bleeder. That is, it doesn't have a swivel and to put the cap on/off the reservoir, you need to rotate the entire bleeder to avoid kinking the hose.

But, you can keep the Bleeder you have and just add this swivel cap - http://www.zimsautotechnik.com/acatalog/Metal_Swivel_Cap_for_Motive_Products_Power_Bleeder .html to the existing hose. It's billet aluminum and a very nice and durable piece, I have one and it's great. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

PS The Brakes and Clutch share a common fluid reservoir, because of the ABS, you should not use the push pedal method to bleed the brakes. The ABS requires a constant minimum 18PSI to bleed properly.
