So I bought one the night before you sent this.  I've
hooked it up per instructions and....

...I can't seem to get any fluid through it.  Sure, I can
get fluid and bubbles if I'm not getting a tight seal, but
seal off the air leaks around the bleeder screw?  Nope. 
Nothing.

This is SOOO aggravating.  I really NEED to have the car on
the road in the next couple days, but I'm going bald from
attempting to do it.

Now what do I do?
