Re: [Amc-list] Brakes, still not good

I'd only bench bleed on a car with two things, three actualy.
A helper
A level
A floor jack.
Take off the cap, place the level on the top of the master.
Gently jack up the back of the car till the master is level.
Wrap the lines into the reservoir then gently, with your helper slowly bleed the air out.

I suppose you could do it by yourself, but I bet you'd make a mess and you'd never know when those frikkin bubbles stop!

YMMV!
