Can I just connect a tube to the bleeder valve and crack it a little to let it gravity bleed? Will that get air in the line or something?

I read story after story of people bleeding the normal way, i.e. hold the pedal, open valve, close valve, repeat, and they can never get it working. I do not want this to happen to me...

It's because almost everyone sees themselves bleeding new components.

You and spooler are correct, a gravity bleed will do.

You are not removing any air from the system and as long as the reservoir doesnt dry you will be good.

Do yourself a favor, empty the reservoir first, fill with new fluid and have new fluid run down the line.
