After the wonderful experience (not) of essentially replacing the entire front braking system, including rotors and bearings, on our 98 F-150, I'm considering rigging up my own pressure brake bleeding setup for future use.

Nothing elaborate - just the main reservoir adapter that I can hook up my own air supply to.

Looking at NAPA Online, you can get the universal adapters in a few different configurations and sizes for anywhere from $45 to $80 ballpark.

My main question is, what pressure is considered sufficient to do a good flush/purge of the system to ensure the system is air-free, without blowing apart the reservoir?

My initial guess would be no more than about 20 psi. Comments?
