6) (only if you fee like you bled alot of fluid out) relieve pressure from bleeder and add more fluid to master cylinder
7) move on to the next corner and repeat steps 3-6


Once you are done, put the wheels back on, torque, make sure brake fluid is at the MAX level and put away brake bleeder that is still dry and you don't have to clean or pour out and unused brake fluid.

Make sense now?
I was always under the impression to not leave the bleeder dry.
I get what you mean, but you will constantly have to open and top up while you bleed...

Sounds like a good idea... I will try this later on in the week.
I have an oil extractor so I will just take out the reservoir fluid first and then slowly bleed from the passenger rear first then driver rear and passenger front, then driver front? Correct right?
