I use a pressure bleeder tank (KD 2222) with a special adapter I made. This works really well as it pushes fluid through the entire brake system with both front bleeders open at the same time (no air bubble can get trapped). If you know a professional car mechanic you may be able to gain access to a pressure bleeder. You'll just need to make your own adapter as I've never seen one for bikes. Ed

If you get around to doing it this way you must seal the inside of the custom cap adapter with epoxy. (Notice how the inside of mine looks a little dark?) You must do this because the cap is vented. If you don't, when you apply pressure it will leak. (Ask me how I know. ) Ed

I flushed mine out a couple months ago using my Mighty Vac. These things are better than sliced bread! It "pulls" the fluid through the system and being under vacuum it also pulls out any air.
