This is the reverse with no syringe and seems to make sense because like he said, most of the dirty fluid is in the caliper and gets expelled first with gravity bleeding. He's done 3000 of them, so how bad can the method be? Anyway, less than 30 minutes all in for me having never worked on hydraulic brakes prior. Brakes feel great.

Yeah, but be sure not to get ANY fluid on the pads, or they'll squeal until replaced.
