How did people get along before the Mighty-Vac.
 Do what I said, and you'll be riding that thing in less than an hour. Chop chop.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I own a Mighty-Vac and use it. It makes the job much easier and faster. But, you can get it done *without*. Just gotta know how.

Okay, people are going to say I'm crazy but... Take the caliper back off the bike and elevate it above the master cylinder. Statue of Liberty style! Open the bleeder and pump until fluid comes out in a decent flow. Re-install the caliper and do the same to the other side. Of course, make sure you open and close the bleeder with it elevated and always keep the res. full. Now bleed the brakes until you get decent pressure and no big bubbles. Pump the brake lever until you get max pressure and hold it in and tape/zip tie the lever back. Tap the lines a few times with a wrench or some thing and go have a sandwich, watch tv, go to bed, whatever. When you get back the brakes should be good (give it 4-6 hours).If not pump them up again and tie them back and leave them for a few more hours. Rock hard brakes and stoppies for all! |

For the record I've installed brake lines on every bike I've owned since 1995 using this method.
