The speed bleeder are a good idea. That might be a good solution for ppl who break the bleed nipple too. Since the bleed nipple only comes with the entire slave cylinder.
As for space... go look at my past photos in this thread. Just look back a few pages. You will see the working room/space is pretty tight under there. That is why I recommend you have a "few" 12 point 11mm wrenches - to get at the roght angle to open close that darn bleed nipple.

Yes, the fact that the pressurized system feeds fluid while bleeding is a bonus. Didn't think of that one.
I've always been careful with the reservoir when doing brakes, and I've never gone too low and introduced more air. But, some of my friends have done it, then it is a pain.
Thanks for the info and the tips.
