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. |

I've never had good luck with a pressure bleeder. Either makes a mess (almost always), over-fills or under-fills the reservoir, and leaves excess fluid in the tank that I'll either have to pour back in the can (don't like to do that) or toss it (don't like to do that).
The Wife Method works most excellently (and between race and street cars, mine and friends, I'm flushing something monthly) and my method comes with most excellent post-flush beer and food. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) BTW, I've had decent success gravity-bleeding, but always feel compelled to follow up with a quick follow up regular-way. Try different ways, see what works best for you. |
