I used the gravity method of bleeding my slave:
1. top off the resavoir (duh, can't remember how to even spell it!),
2. open the bleed valve
3. drink a coupla beers
4. close valve
5. top off resivore (duh)
6. wait 12 hours before driving (has nothing to do with air in line, but
bubbly in the head!)
This method was mentioned on the spridget list and unintentionally worked as
I opened the valve for some reason and the phone rang.
I then tried it on the brakes as I had emptied the resovore (still trying)
while had the motor, tranny & rear end all removed at the same time. I was
stunned it worked!
