Thanks for the info. I didn't realize you can't bleed the brakes the way you do in a car (2 person job).
Person 1 pumps and holds the brake pedal & tells person 2 to open the nipple
Person 2 opens the nipple and lets the fluid out.
Person 2 closes the nipples and informs Person 1 to release
Person 1 releases brake pedal
Keep repeating until all old fluid is out and no more bubbles.
Sometimes I take a small mallet and gently tap the calipers.....real gently.
Now.....why can't we do it the same way with the bike? How would air be introduced to the line?
