DIY Custom Power Bleeder Construction

I have a brake job coming up. Rear pads and rotors need to be changed. I was thinking of replacing them with Akebono Euro Ceramic Pads and ATE rotors. I read good reviews about them on forums. But more about that later.

Since my brake fluid hasn't been flushed since I got my car in 2008, a brake fluid flush is due.

Reading forums, I came across these instructions for building your own power bleeder, so I did.
