-- [ From: Bill Mills * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] --
I would recommend either the Ezi-Bleed type rig or a vacuum type pump (I
like these better - commonly available at places like Northern Hydraulics
around here for $25) rather than pump the brake pedal. Pumping the brake
pedal to the bottom sends the piston in the master cylinder down into the
end of the bore where it does not usually go. Roughness on the bore in this
area hastens the wear of the seals on the piston. Using a pressure system
or vacuum type not only can be done alone, but the other person if available
can be keeping the m/c topped up and allow you to remain on you back on the
frozen driveway.

Get it out. Bleed an entire bottle of brake fluid through the
system just to be sure. Keep going until you see brand new,
clean fluid, and nothing BUT brand new clean fluid. Get one
of those fancy plastic bottles with the tube attached and the
one-way valve, or at least the tube with one-way valve.
