Hi Guys,
So the Operators Manual shows a special tool for bleeding the front brakes. Is this a special order item. (For those that have not looked, the front bleeder screw is recessed. This makes it difficult to get a wrench on the bleeder screw with a one man bleeder pump. In my stock Pinzgauer Tool bag there is the tool below but I do not think it is the same one as shown in the Operators Manuel. So what are the tricks to making this work?
Thanks

I don't think the tool in your bag is the right one.
SAV sells the bleeder tool: http://www.pinzgauer.com/showdetails.ph ... 9053258012
I think others have just used a deep socket. I have the SAV tool and it works great with my power bleeder.

Use a socket clamped in vice grips, and run the bleed hose through the square hole where the wrench would normally attach.

Thank you both.
Paul -- that is the correct tool. Looks like I need to pick one of those up.
Chris -- I am going to give the socket/vise grip a try.
