I just changed my brake fluid with a pressure bleeder over the weekend, and it worked perfectly. The pedal is a bit firmer now as well (although it was pretty good even before I changed the fluid).
Some notes: (may be already obvious to you, but for others ...)
- Before attaching the pressure bleeder, suck the fluid out of both sides of the car's reservoir (both sides), then fill the reservoir with new brake fluid.
- I kept the pressure at about 5 psi.
- I also bled the air out of the lines from the pressure bleeder so that the fluid level remained at the full mark in the car's reservoir the whole time. (Do this by attaching the pressure bleeder, pumping up the pressure, loosening the cap very slightly at the car's reservoir (to slowly let air out), wait until the line from the bleeder is full of fluid, and then quickly tighten the cap.)
