T77 - I've used every known method of bleeding except filling through the bleeders, but that would have the same uncertainties unless you first completely drained the system (which, by filling "backward" might avoid the air pockets in the MC or maybe the odd caliper we all wish to avoid.

I used the Schraeder valve method (Upfixin article on it), and still have the stuff in my traveling tool chest (this is now a dedicated race car). I added a ball valve to my pump power bleeder (after reading a recent discussion of issues with that device), which is something I should have done to the front tire system - makes opening the reservoir for a look or refill a bit easier.

Gravity bleeding all four at the same time was the absolute best, but that was because the whole system was drained so I could cut off the front half of the car (firewall included) to have wreck damage repaired), so there was no question about how much was enough - the tubes rose above the reservoir level and did their job over night.

At the track, if needed, having someone depress the pedal half way on command is the most efficient system for getting rid of a few bubbles. It is when doing the annual or more flush/fluid change which leads to the potential to put some air into the MC.

The two color ATE was nice, although for an SC on the track its boiling temperature isn't as high as one might want. And it is NLA. Talk about silly rules, based on the least common denominator principle.
