Re: Bleeding new brake system.

On a single reservoir system, I usually just open a bleeder or both in the back and let the fluid run down to them. Just leave the cap loose so that there isn't a "suction". No pumping needed, unless you are in a hurry. Just add fluid as needed. I even do that on my '70 truck, but with a dual reservoir. Once you get fluid to the rears, do the same in the front. Then you can have someone step on the pedal and you can chase any leaks. With all new lines, it should gravity bleed just fine. You might have to tap the wheel cylinders with a rubber mallet to get all the bubbles out.
