Last summer Bryan (x86boardwell) and I bleed my brakes after a caliper rebuild.
I bought one of those super easy, pressure bleeders from PP to perform this.

I was stationed at the master with the pressure bleeder pumping it up while Bryan went to each corner to crack the bleeders.

We kept yelling at each other “Howz it going?”…replies…”Looking good, 2 corners done and rounding the rear bumper to start
the other side”…I reply…”Great but man this sure is using a lot of brake fluid!”….”No problems, I’m just about done”

Bryan finishes up and comes to the front of the car and as we high five each other we discover 1 quart of brake fluid running down the
garage floor all the way to my driveway, I forgot to pinch off the overflow tube from the fluid reservoir

It’s amazing how much surface area 1 quart can cover!

I kept waiting for the Budweiser radio commercial “Real Men of Genius” to start playing
