I don't mean to sound condescending but there have been dozens of posts
about bleeding and everyone seems to have their own technique. The one most
of you ignore is the one Mike Salter has posted repeatedly. That is clamp
off all four wheels, if you now have a hard pedal it not the MC. Release
them one at a time until you lose the hard pedal and you will know which is
the problem wheel. Correct the leak and be done with it.

<<I should have said the best way (below) actually...>>


would be to use an Eezibleed, Alan.  <G>

And NOT because I sell them, but because I USE one !!!

Just one of the "best things since sliced bread." !!!

FWIW & FYI, I use FOUR clear glass jugs with clear plastic 
hose(s)
from each bleed screw to jug(s) (and as an example) did the 
job on a
Spridget not long ago.  Took all of 5 - 6 minutes with NO 
'assistant'
required !! <VBG>
