I back off on the front valve mounting bolt, slip the slotted end of the tool under it and snug the bolt. Then I tap the 90 degree end to push the valve in and then I tighten the bolt. The brakes bleed easy after that. Just remove it when you are done. Without the boot and plunger I don't know what to tell you.

Got pics. of the tool, sounds clever. I think I understand, but would like to build one, as I'm in the same boat
S/T, if you need that part, LMK
