Bled brakes with me mityvac. Went fine but no change. Bloke came along and seemed to open the bleed nipple very slightly, pull back the lever, close the nipple. He repeated this about 20 times. Result rock hard brake lever for rest of day.
Can anyone confirm what he was doing and why it made the difference it did?
I did not watch closely enough...git.

That's normal for bleeding brakes innit? Except I've only ever seen it done that way when no tube was available and we needed to get my mate off the motorway.
