It's gavity... So cracking the bleeder like a car don't work... make sure everything is tight and fill the master leave the cap of and put rags around so fuild don't get on everything... Take your time and pump gently and slowly don't rush... you'll see tiny air bubbles coming up... slow and smooth... then when you begin to feel slight pressure put a rag over the top of the master and give it some quick full speedy pumps the reason for the rag is when the air is gone and the pressure builds it'll shoot fuild up so the rag will get soked but it won't fly all over the place... it works for me and leaving it over night is a good way to start it off. Good luck

go to walmart buy a meat marinade injection syringe, then go over to the pet department get some clear tubing in the fish tank section. Install the tubing on the end of the syringe. You might have to use a cig lighter to heat up the tubing so it will fit. Remove MC cover plate. And slowly inject the new brake fluid into the brake caliper pushing air and new fluid upwards into MC. Bleed accordingly. The whole setup should cost less than 10 bucks. Hope this helps
man im out the door walmart hear i come thanks sportyguy
no problem that is what I used to bleed the front brake of my fatty when I put on the apes. I tryed the leaving the front caliper bleeder open over night, didnt work for me. Used the setup from Walmart and bleed the brake in less than 10 minutes.
+ 1 what Sportguy said. If you have access to a vet or medical supplies a 50 ml syringe will work great. go to www.fatbillscustoms.com for step by step instruction.
I have read this site and the overnight blled method.. My question is do you clamp the lever with the res open or screwed down tight? on front brakes?
