[Roadsters] brake line question

[Bubba]

The half loop shouldn't cause a problem.  If you use a vacuum bleeder at the 
wheel, it's a constant pull on the brake fluid, and will draw the air out. 
If you use the 2-man pumping method, just bleed until you get a solid brake 
fluid flow without air bubbles at least 3-5 times after the last time you 
expelled air.  Don't forget to keep filling the reservoir.
