Hi

Is this the correct procedure for reverse bleeding the brakes?

1) remove all fluid from master cylinder with a syringe
2) connect tube/syringe to bleed nipple
3) fill syringe with dot 4 and remove any air bubbles in pipe
4) open bleed valve and squeeze syringe slowly until master cylinder is full
5) close bleed valve and repeat from step 3 again.

repeat until all dirty fluid is out.
 
Thanks for the instructions.

Is there any reason why you have to do step 4 as when you do step 6 won't the resevoir fill up anyway?

When I do the other front caliper can the dirty fluid get pushed in to the side I already did?

Roughly how many ml of fluid does it take to get from the caliper bleed screw to the resevoir?
