Brake Bleeding Question

Either side I expect, within an inch or so in any case.

Think there was a thread about attaching a bicycle inter tube cut to about two feet. Attach one end to the top of the master cyl with a hose clamp. Tie the top high, and fill with brake fluid, well not all the way of course. Then open a fitting on a wheel and slowly pump the peddel. Drain the fitting into a container with a hose from the fitting to under the fluid in the drain container.

Can recycle the fluid. but do not remove the hose from below the fluid line without closeing the fitting.

Did that make sense??
 
Did almost the same - except for the bicycle tube thing. Seem to have a firm pedal now. Will do a final all around bleed when the wife is available (after I have done the garden chores).
 
Good deal.
