Bleeding Brake Lines

RE: Bleeding Brake Lines
put some clear hose on the fitting.
with 3/8ths, 6 point wrench open, squeeze brake, close
repeat until no bubbles. Add more fluid to the resevoir if it starts to get low, fill it up when you are finished.
The problem is if the clear hose doesn't seal tightly on the fitting, you could be sucking air bubbles in from there, thinking you still have air in there.
Many swear by the pressurized systems, or Mighty Vac, or similar stuff, and fill it through the bleed screw.
I had great luck with the Speed Bleeders. They have a check valve so fluid/air only flows one way

a cheap vacuum pump with the extra fluid jar from Harbor freight works great. \\; put the hose from the pump to the bleeder screw and open the screw. \\; keep pumping the pump until you get no bubbles. \\; gotta make sure the resivour (I hate that word) stays full. \\; once you get no bubbles, tighten the bleeder screw and remove the hose.
