DIY "Brake Bleeder"

On my H/D I got real tired of bleeding the calipers with no help. I got a set of Russell Speed bleaders and they are the bees-knees for the bike. I am unsure if they might fit the Benz. If you know what the thread size is on the Benz, they might have something that would work. Look-em over and see what you think
