    One of the weirdest ways i seen to bleed one is this, the master cylinder is to small for the volume needed.

    So, pump the pedal till you get fluid coming out the bleeder. Let is sit a minute, then pump it 3 times real fast, hold the pedal down to the floor and close the bleeder.

    Sounds like it wont work i know, but it actually works well. Makes a big mess too, but the key is pumping the pedal quickly, and creating enough volume.

    We use a vacuum type bleeder now, but have used this way many times.

    Just say no...

      Here is another quick tip I use an oil pump can filled w brake fluid put a hose on it open bleeder put hose on bleeder pump until you see fluid in reservoir then bleed normally. Works good I never had muck luck with the miti vac type bleeders.
