The idea here is that when it does suck a little back up the linke - it is sucking on brake fluid which is sucking up hill and therefore will effectively block air and speed up the bleeding process.
so hypothetically this can be done alone without assistence and without any self bleeding kits yes? Open one bleed screw at a time, attach rubber tubing and let the other end hang down into a bottle filled with clean brake fluid, Pump the brake pedal 10 times or more then close up the screw and repeat on all four wheels. This fuseable? or am I missing something?
