With the Motive Pressure Bleeder you dont have to worry about the back part of the reservoir going dry. You can read up on this by searching my name. Although you are finished, you may want to buy this bleeder anyway, it works very nicely for the money.

Have fun with the rear wheel bearing, Id have someone do it, its a pain.
