1. i flushed out my system about a month ago. i completely drained the whole system.
2.filled resivoir
3. attached a tube over the bleed valve and ran to a bucket.
4. started the engine and pumped brakes until fluid came out of tube in to bucket.
5. refilled resi. and moved to next brake repeatign the process above.

when pumping the brakes, i actually could get on my knees and use my hand to pump the brake while watching under the vehicle for fluid to come out.

with the self bleeders, it is a very simple process.. alot better than a 2 man job and having to screw with the beed vavle after every pump.

Huh?? Let me get this straight. Those bleeder valves are one way only? They let air out but not in?? I've never heard of that....

I bought the little 'one man' bleeder kit but if it's really not needed I'll take it back.
