I think we need a "how to" in the tech section on bleeding. The most important thing I find is to make sure the MC is full of fluid (all bubbles gone) before installation on the car. 2 people, bleed nipple loose, push peddle to the floor slowly, with peddle on floor tighten nipple, release peddle, give it a few seconds, loosen nipple, press peddle to the floor, & repeat previous steps. Being lazy, I dont bother fully bleeding, once the peddle is operating the clutch, thats enough, let it come good of the next week or so of driving. It has worked for me for the past 40 years.
Sorry, I know you didnt want that description, but it appears that some just cant get their head around it yet others could do it blind folded.
