Default Brake Bleeding

Afternoon all,

Going to be doing a fluid change soon on the STi, it's a 2016 model.

I've always used a very basic hand-operated vacuum bleeder (pump type) connected to the caliper on my other cars, but to be honest it's getting a bit tired now and was thinking of upgrading it anyway.

I'm looking at the Sealey VS820 pressure bleeder that is basically a mechanical pump, with a cap that screws onto the master cylinder...

...the cap that comes with the kit will fit European cars, but there is an accessory kit that includes the master cylinder caps for Japanese cars, including Subaru...

Has anyone ever used this before to successfully flush their fluid and bleed their brakes?

Cheers,
Anthony.
