I bought one of these, worked fine. It's a one way valve. It was a little fiddly because we don't have a lot of nipple showing on the S40.

If you have someone helping they can have a large syringe and keep the res topped up while you're down below yelling instructions on when to pump when to release and so on to time with your doing and undoing of the bleeder valve. It needs to be co ordinated just like the valve timing.

The advantage of having the one way valve is that once it's done you can easily then keep pumping to watch for any stray bubbles.
