Lets be very clear on this part...
for pumping up by the person in the car.. typically a few light pumps will do.. that person HOLDS the pressure on the pedal.. and calls to the person underneath " holding"...
BUT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF NOT LETTING THE PEDAL GO FURTHER THAN IT SHOULD IS THAT OF THE PERSON AT THE BRAKE BLEEDER VALVE.
a QUICK open close... pretty much as fast as you can close it as you get a stream of brake fluid coming out is the trick.... it is ONE MOVEMENT.. OPEN-CLOSE the bleeder... you do it as often as there is bad looking fluid and or air sputtering, etc.. until you get clean solid flow of new brake fluid.
This means the pedal inside the car can not travel further than usual.. with the potential of messing up a seal from a rusted rod traveling too far...
that is the reason behind all this care... you do not need to make more problems than you started out with by maxing out the rod travel. That will serve no useful purpose.
