you have to have your m/c right side up with the bleeder screw ontop of the pump.Then usea vaccume bleeder on the rear caliper and suck the brake fluid till it comes through with no air, and then go back ontop and manually bleed the m/c.

disconnect the line from your hb to your master cylinder and fill up the resevoir on your hb and let it gravity feed when it starts to drip hook it up and pump the hb over and over again till it gets pressure with out a vacum bleeder your going to be there a while.. its a bitch.
