Default brake bleeding.

Hi, Front cab was completley removed today, noticed the rear mounting bolt spring was broken. Continued to powerwash oil/dirt off, windscreen and frame is repairable as is the cab floor, plan is to grit blast and have zinc coated aswell as the archers and windscreen frame.

Looking ahead I was wondering has anyone ever used a modern day brake bleeder, the type which connects to your car tyre, If I was to connect this to the resovoir and seal the connection, could I then bleed off from each brake as you would a normal car brake system, or can someone supply the correct bleeding tool as in the workshop manual.

kev. thanks for the advice on the sump removal, will give it a try.
