Answer 2

Small 'pop' bottle with a little brake fluid in the base. Plastic (or rubber) tube fit over bleed nipple and into bottle. Depress brake lever (bike) or pedal(car) slowly with bleed nipple open. When pedal is at end of travel, and bubbles stop, close bleed nipple, return lever (pedal) to normal position. Repeat as necessary until bubbles no longer appear when lever (pedal) is depressed (not forgetting nipple is opened at start of pedal travel and closed at end of travel).
Obviously this operation is made much easier with two people. One operating the lever (pedal), and one opening and closing the bleed nipple.


P.S. Don't forget to top up Brake Cylinder whilst bleeding

Answer 3

bike brake bleeding & clutch as well..

I do it opposite to everyone else...

plastic bottle with tube that is a snug fit over the bleed valve.

fill with brake fluid, open valve, force fluid up the line by squeezing the bottle.

air rises so once the fluid starts comming into the master resivoire you should have brakes/ clutch..( I tend to force enough up the line to half fill the master resivoire)

nip up valve..all done

Answer 4

I always start by leaving the bleeder closed.Take the master cylinder cap off and pump the lever until the bubbles stop coming out .Replace the cap and go through the regular bleeding procedure.This always works for me.Good Luck.
