i have read the posts on power bleeding ( don't have one ) and the wife helper (not gonna happen) methods, i will have to go with the vacuum pump method. have to ask if i'm going to get it right.
have a hand held vacuum pump, my thinking (don't panic) is this, fit a plastic bottle with a T fitting, one line to the bleeder valve, one to the pump, both with long plasic tubes, open valve,suck until no bubbles, careful not to empty resevoir. repeat rear right, rear left, front right ,front left. i await your input (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
