How do you bleed? Bench bleed that is...

[okeesignguy]

Do you prefer to bleed with plugs in the outputs or with tubes running from the outputs back into the reservoir...?
If "other"...please explain...
Thanx!

I've always done it the old school way.

Either way works just fine.

I have done it both ways and the plastic plugs work just fine. Do it with whatever you have available.

I am replacing it soon and was curious how most of you do it....
I've seen it done both ways....

Hummmm.... I've never bench bled anything and never had a problem getting the air out of the system. I hate the thought of dripping brake fluid on anything.

I used the plugs this time. Just be prepared to pump that cylinder for a while to get the air out. The rear compartment seems to take longer than the front.

Step 1 - Get a sharp knife

Step 2 - Cut finger with sharp knife

Step 3 - bleed

Yes!! To ease the pain and slow down the bleeding by holding onto the can with the cut finger!!

Recently replaced a MC and booster on my 71 Corvette. Those that have done this can appreciate it when I say it was no fun, ie: the upper left booster bolt!!! The instructions were to do the plug method, worked very well. Used to do the old standard bleed hoses back into the reservoir method. I think both methods work well if done correctly.
