| I did not do a write up though maybe I should have. 1. Put fresh brake fluid container anywhere above the car (I used a small step ladder). 2. Run a long clear plastic tube full of fresh fluid from the brake fluid container down to the slave cylinder bleeder. This naturally provides the siphon and by going to the slave cylinder forces fluid and bubbles up naturally instead of down. Try and make it so the plastic tube doesn't find a way to fall out of the container and/or pull the container off it's high spot. I used duct tape. 3. Run another clear plastic tube from the upper PS bleeder to the waste bucket and make sure the cap is ON the MC. 4. Open the two bleeders and let gravity work: the pressure from the high brake fluid naturally flows down to the slave pushing fluid back out the top bleeder no pumping necessary. You control the flow rate somewhat by how much you open the bleeder and height of the fresh fluid. Obviously if you put a SB on the slave this won't work, but you could put one on top in either case. You'll probably need to pump some of the bubbles out around the MC. Close off the slave first and make damn sure to keep the MC recharged -- it goes down quickly with pumping. This method you'll pump A LOT LESS, probably waste less fluid, and waste A LOT less time. At least that was my experience. There's no such thing as gravity. The earth sucks!
