[Fot] Fluid, dual circuits and speed bleeders

This is where those little $4.99 Harbor Freight bottles with magnets work so
well. I hook up all four and walk around until I get them all pumping about
the same and it seems to work great.

Usually you need to do whatever circuit you did first over again if
you do them separately. I do anyway, I find I almost always get a
little more pedal if I follow the old shampoo bottle method--lather,
rinse, repeat.  Those of us who sometimes write code have a tough time
ending that infinite loop, but you just need to apply a little
discipline.
