Start right rear, left rear, right front, left front and use a helper or brake bleeder. Just nake sure M/C is full and not to bring in more air

Open all the bleeders and let gravity do most of the work. I put a length of hose on all bleeders to route the fluid into containers. In under 10 minutes, I had fluid at all four wheels. Keep an eye on the master cylinder level.

I tried that at the right rear wheel overnight.... nothing. But a few slow presses on the pedal and I had fluid..

Went and bought a hand vacuum bleeder.... Saturday project
