PMB has a tech tip on "gravity bleeding" your brakes. What it doesn't explain is the way to bleed a caliper with 2 bleeders.
Did I miss something or do just use only one of the bleeder ports. |

QUOTE(bandjoey @ Jan 8 2017, 01:12 AM)  How do you use speed bleeders with one person. ? They have an internal check valve. Air and fluid goes out, but the check valve keeps air from coming back in. So you hook up the bottle, crack the bleeder quarter turn, then jump in the car and slowly cycle the brake pedal. I used to use them on the race and street cars, but had limited success. I found that unless I put some kind of sealant on the threads (Teflon paste, for example) then air could get sucked in past the threads. In the end it's just easier for me to nicely ask the wife to work the pedal while I work the bleeders (plus it's a good excuse to take her out to dinner after at my fav gastropub). |
