I've done this for 20 years, I can bleed all 4 wheels by myself. I can't seem to teach others though, they use a hose that fits too loosely or they don't fill the resi, or they don't know how to just barely open the bleeder so the fluid doesn't flow right back. Oh well, they can keep doing the "are you pumping?, Did you hold it? Did the pedal hit the floor?" method for as long as they like.... PS: Gatorade bottles work perfect.

There are two things that can go wrong with this type of bleeding. Number one is it can draw air back in around the threads on the bleeder not itself if it is a loose fit when backed out. And number two, never pump the pedal fast or all the way to the bottom. Fast will saturate your fluid with air bubbles suspended and the fluid that will eventually settle out but it takes forever and…, When you push that piston all the way down where it’s not used to going, you’re pushing the Chevron cup up in the front of the master cylinder in over a crud laden area that it’s never been over before in normal use. Inevitably, you’ll soon be replacing your master cylinder when the crud cuts the Chevron cup.

Old skool way i learned from my unc and never had a issue. I also let out a few drops from the bleeder screw after everyrhing is put back together just to be sure its fluid at the tip. Idk if thats unsafe or not but always had great stopping ability no issues. The C-clap way seems to be the easiest way to avoid air and wasting fluid and time just removing the reservoir cap upond applying pressure.

I rigged an air line to an old master cylinder cap, then put a cheap Harbor Freight regulator/filter on the line, then set it at 20psi and put continuous 20psi shop air into it, then just go around to each corner. No pumping. The suck back from a bottle method can fail you if there is air leaking in at the bleeder screw threads.

And watch out for air coming in through the threads on the bleeder valve, happens a lot, you'll know when you go through a whole bottle of fluid and still see bubbles in the tubing. I personally use some thread tape on the bleeder valve being extremely careful NOT to get any tape low enough to get any into the caliper itself, keep the tape high on the threads. I know most people will freak out about it this, but it will be OK if the tape does not enter the caliper.

Once the brake fluid comes out of the bleeder screw like Niagara Falls and there's no bubbles coming out you're done. P.S. just make sure you keep the master cylinder full of brake fluid when you do this !

Yeah something I've been doing for over 40 years is bleeding brakes by myself it works even better if you can hang the bottle up taller than the caliper wheel cylinder that you're bleeding because then the air will travel up the hose and get into The Jug and you'll pull straight fluid back it works a lot faster that way you have to seal it off just make sure it's in the fluid

Pump the last 3 or 4 holding pedal for 10 20 seconds each time. Allows the air to escape the hose into the bottle. Otherwise you may trap a bubble that just travles up and down the hose possibly getting sucked back into the calipers when you release the pedal for the last time.

Pre-soak the bleeder fitting days ( or even weeks) in advance if you can. Douse it with a good penetrating oil ( find something better than WD-40 - it's not hard) and spray a bit of high-percentage rubbing alcohol on it to help it "wick" in better. When the time comes to turn wrenches on the job, soak it again and tap the fitting straight on super lightly using a small hammer, just enough to "wake it up." Then, use a 1/4" drive 6-point deep socket (on a T-handle if you have one) on a short extension for a bit more angular control.) Start gently torquing to loose, then tighten, then loosen, then tighten, etc. It won't move at first. But slowly, it might decide to cooperate and begin to budge. If you feel even the tiniest movement, stop and spray it again. Repeat the super-cautious loosen/tighten/loosen/etc cycle. Worst comes to worse, get out a torch and get the caliper around the bleeder screw hole pretty hot (but not so hot you cook the internal cylinder bore seal.) Are you a DIY'er with some time to spare? Go down to your nearest Pick-a-Part yard and practice on some junkers which are headed to the crusher. There's no substitute for getting a feel for it, and you might be able to pick up a backup caliper for peanuts. Have patience. Good luck!

Except you can actually get air around the threads of that bleeder... It may be better than nothing at all but it's still not complete... I like the pressurized supply up top where all you have to do is crack the bleeders it's basically a bug sprayer full of brake fluid with an adapter that seals to your master cylinder reservoir... Pressure it up and you don't have to work the pedal unless you have abs then you need a computer to put the ABS module in bleed mode...
