Revolver Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 You want to open both bolts, QUICKLY put the tubes on each bleeding port, then you push the oil through.The absolute best way imo for oil bleeds is using two syringes. If you put a tiny bit of fluid in one syringe, and enough to do a complete brake and a bit more in the other, you can push/pull the oil all the way through. Then when fresh oil starts coming into the syringe with the old oil in, it will have fresh oil in and no air. You can watch the air come out in the syringes too.
