I know, someone at corporate must have decided they didn't
have enough lawsuits to deal with so they sent out a memo
advising the employees to invent random, dangerous crap to
spring on the customers. :-) What's really scary is that
there are a lot of customers going into a parts store who
don't know any better and might actually follow this advice!
(I'm not even sure why you'd want to pinch off the line;
every time I've changed disc brakes I've never even needed
to open the bleeders - just put the brake pad spreader in
there, crank 'er open, and slap the new pads in place!)
"Hmmm, so do I pinch the rubber part or the metal part?" ;-)
