When gravity bleeding just "don't let the m/c run dry" just open all bleeders let them drain into a pan or bucket then keep a eye on the m/c top it off often during the bleed when you have gone thru most of the quart tighten all bleeders top off m/c and I hose off the brake fluid off the calipers just to clean them off.

See my post... there are two... inner and outer.

I personally have never heard of anyone just opening bleeders and wouldn't really trust this system especially since each caliper has two sets of lines going to it (you'll never get all the old fluid out as it would gravitate to one side of the caliper). Also think of it like a water cooler... when you let water out of the bottom of the tank, air replaces it through the drain spout. I guarantee you are letting air in through the bleeders as the fluid drains.

Why shortcut something as important as your brakes when you can bleed them as directed? I have a vaccuum pump from harbor freight that connects to my air compressor. Cost $20-25 and swaps all my fluid in minutes.

Just my 2 cents.

Whatever floats your boat, I would like to be able to trust my brakes when I hit it. The 13psi you can put at the MC should be enough to push the ABS valves open.

Actually, gravity bleed is more common and effective than most people think. I'd never heard of it either until I started hanging out with racers. Most prefer gravity bleed over vacuum or pressurized methods.

You know I read this somewhere in this thread but I'm not sure where.:rolleyes:



Pen thanks for your comment.:tiphat:

I gravity bleed and have never had issues. It's no different than any other method used. Just slower. Some of use guys need to think simple logic.
