Thanks for the tip Larry. So simple it amazing. The last time I did the
brakes on my BN1, it took three of us and a vacuum pump and gallons of beer
and lots of swearing, but we did get them the best they've even been. But
this method would have been extremely easy and when it comes time to change
the fluids, I'm giving this a go and when it works, a toast in your honor.
Thanks again.

On the drum brake front cars the front brakes must be de adjusted first
or you will probably never get all of the air out. It even says in the
BN1 manual to do this. This pushes the pistons home and reduces the air
in the wheel cylinders.
My method for doing it alone - attach about 6 feet of clear soft tube to
the bleeder screw. Put the tube up higher than the car ( over a step
ladder etc ) open the bleed screw slightly and slowly pump the pedal,
then see the fluid come up the tube and keep going until no air bubbles
are coming up though the fluid. Close the bleed screw and repeat on all
wheel. Works every time.
Cheers
