Pressure bleeding

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

I'm not understanding this then.  I thought this is what you 
meant:
               Schrader
                     |
                     V
             -      __        -
           /   \    ||      /   \
         /      |   ||     |     |
 --------        ----------      |

 ----------------------------------

If this is the case, the schrader places air over the rubber 
diaphragm, and doesn't actually put air to brake fluid, just the 
diaphragm pressure.  I think the cap actually may have holes in 
some models, so it'd have to be a sealed cap.

Am I confused or what?

Joel,
I wouldn't leave the modified cover on because you would have to cut the 
center of the gasket out so the air will fire right into the resoivoir. 
As long as the gasket lip holds the air pressure there should not be any 
problems.
