Scratch flushing and brake lines - I just realized that I will have no one to flush the brakes with me...

I just went to check on my TT yesterday after our earthquake. Luckily nothing fell on it. I was pretty anxious to say the least. Also, my track toy was not on my lift. At one point last summer it was on the lift for an extended period. This will make me think hard about leaving my car on the lift for any extended period during projects/maintenance..

You dont have to, as long as you stay in complete synchronicity with 2 person bleed you wont introduce air. Iirc you only need a dura to cycle abs if you get air in system. Imo you dont really need to replace brake fluid every 2 years.

I prefer the powerprobe BA05... kind of like using a motive dry, but uses your compressor and is tiny to store.
Also, you really only need to cycle the ABS valve if your somehow staring out with a completely dry system. To flush or bleed, no need to cycle the valve (though I'm sure others will disagree).

...so, it sits on the reservoir and you apply a little air pressure and it pushes the fluid through?
Downside is you need to make sure the reservoir doesn't go dry. Not an issue at all with a bleed, just check it after every corner with a full flush.
Upside is you don't have deal with brake fluid in a big contraption (motive wet) or store a big garden sprayer-type air pump (motive dry).
Also, my preferred fluid is Castrol SRF, and its pricey enough I don't really want to waste any by filling up an additional container, tubing, etc. with it.
You can also just make one out of a spare master cylinder cap and a threaded air hose adapter.
