[quote=”wysetech” post=91936]Really, the only thing I do every day is to loosen the bleeder and push the piston back. Been doing this for as long as there have been disc brakes without problems. In my humble opinion I don’t like pinching brake flex lines or hanging the caliper from them.

When the job is complete and have pumped up the brakes, then top off the master cylinder. Don’t try to reinvent anything.[/quote]

Awesome, thanks. I’ve done one brake job before but instead of loosening the bleeder, I just pushed the piston back and removed any excess fluid from the master cylinder. However, I’ve read rumours about possibly damaging seals and the ABS unit by doing it that way; loosening the bleeder seems more of a logical method. 🙂
