You just gotta lift the pdeal S-L-O-W-L-Y. Press firmly, but not fast. Repeat. Go through a whole resivour full and you're good to go.

- Fill the master with clean synthetic brake fluid
- Screw on the pressure cap fabricated in missing step zero to the master cylinder
- Set the air compressor regulator to 5 psi
- Use the deep socket 8mm wrench to just break it from full tight position
- Attach a length of clear tube to the slave bleeder nipple
- Use an open end stubby 8 mm wrench to open the bleeder and watch for clear fluid. You want all the bubbles to "disappear" from the fluid going out of the slave cylinder...keep an eye on master cylinder's fluid level....you shouldn't need to use the whole volume
- Close when done, tighten with deep socket so you don't round the nipple's square corners
- Turn off the air compressor and relieve pressure in the system
- Replace the pressure cap with the stock factory cap
Donchya know there's always a missing step zero.....
