That's a touchy subject around here...

I know that feeling.
I'll bet if you wanted to add a bleeder screw or small bleeder valve it would be very simple. And it won't cost you the $50 that the Tee w bleeder would.

I refuse to remove my bleed screw, its too important. I might buy that metal tee...if mine would ever fail, but I would thread a brake bleeder in it or some other neat little device.

Not moving my overflow bottle, nor letting my car run a half hour to do something that is done in 2-3 minutes.

Air doesn't like to move down...

Once I bleed the system via the raise the reservoir, I am sure I will not miss it. Will just take longer and a bit of patience

Maybe thread a valve stem from a bike tire
