Maybe shold be in "mechanical" but not sure how many would see it there.
Recently had to bleed some brake systems that were completely dry, and it's hard to be at both ends of the system at the same time. They make automatic bleeders, but almost nobody buys them unless they are pros.
I bled these systems in short order by opening the bleeder valve at the furthest position from the master cylinder, then filling a clean squirt oil can with brake fluid. Rubber hose slipped over the spout of the can and the other end over the bleeder valve nipple. Squirt until the master cylinder resivor is full.
Might have to do it from other wheel cylinders as well, but in the end all of the air will be gone from the system. Close bleeder valves and you should be good to go.....Joe

Thanks, I always had a problem with that, trying to get my wife or someone to work the peddle while I was underneath opening and closing each bleeder with each pump of the break.
