Oops Ted, thanks as I now realise I didn't put critically the hit method :-[ just the palm of my hand to pulse the lever, no tools or weight required.
There, does that seem better ;D

Better with hand. Not sure it's necessary though.

I think a stress test on the brake system is a very good idea, if it fails it fails in the right place not when you REALLY don't want it to be failing.
