Just a little additional tips for brake fluid bleeding and flushing. To help prevent air from entering the bleed screw at the cylinder run the hose UP and over the top of the tire, and then down to the container. This runs all bubbles away from the hose to nipple joint, even that tiny little bubble you can't see that is messing up what you thought was a good flush/bleed! Using a Mity-Vac in the pressure mode and an altered brake fluid reservoir lid, one can result in a DIY pressure bleeder. The max pressure that a Mity-Vac can generate is low enough so you can''t damage anything, so no need for a gauge. Jeff
