There are a few different systems for bleeding the brake system (2-person, 1-person vacuum, pressure, etc.). Which one of them would you consider the best and why? Do you have a preference?[/QUOTE]


Ive only found one semi-fool proof way, and thats with two guys, doing the old...
check the fluid level, pump the brake pedal,several times,....., hold it,firmly to the pressure point f,...release the bleeder valve, on the wheel, let the pedal hit the floor,...close the bleeder valve, only then, let the pedal up, repeat, about 4 times than refill the master cylinder,repeat untill you get clear new fluid and no air in the clear tubing, routine, on each wheel with a 1/4 dia section of 3 ft long clear plastic tube routeing the old brake fluid into a large plastic container, all the time getting feed back on feel from the guy pumping the brakes whos also and making sure the brake fluid resavoir never gets low
