Yep, that will nail you every time. Also, you don't get much bleeding done and that rear reservoir drops very fast, so be careful.

A little trick if you have no helper and no pressure bleeder:

Get a horseradish bottle (tall and thin).

Fill it 1/4 full with brake fluid.

Connect up a vacuum hose to the bleeder and run the hose into the bottle and down into the fluid.

Stand the bottle up near the wheel.

Crack the bleeder 1/2 turn........make sure the hose stays in place.

Get in and slowly press the pedal all the way down and release. Repeat 10X.

Close bleeder.........be careful to keep hose in place when you do this.

Remove hose from bleeder.

Refill reservoir.

Drain some fluid from horseradish bottle.

Repeat for second rear wheel.


I've done this procedure at least 10X and it works excellent.
