Wow, quick reply.

Actually that is what we are doing. My brother pumps three times and holds, says "OK". I crack them until I stop getting air and then shut again. Using a length of  clear hose so I can watch, the first section headding uphill for about three inches so that it keeps  some fluid near the bleeder and I can tell just how much air I am getting and just encase it tries to suck something back into the bleeder all it can get is brake fluid. Except for the fact that the system in not bled, I think we have a good system working  :-\.

My brother will be in school allday tomorrow so I will probably go and buy one of those little handpumps to bleed it by my self tomorrow, had had good results with them in the past but I think I forgot it in the toolbox of a truck I sold a few years back.

There is a fine line between clever and stupid, I just wish I knew when I crossed it.
