Get the air out
I use a syringe and clear hose method differently than these other folks. I take a plastic syringe and form a lip on the tip by heating a piece of metal hot enough to melt the plastic.Just barley though, you don't want to go to far up. When you have your little edge slip a piece of tubing over it and secure with a small tie wrap.I use battery vent tube for a tight fit,to help stretch it over the nipple put it over some needle nose pliers and spread them.
Put the other end on the brake bleeder nipple and secure with a tie wrap. Hang the syringe upright with a piece of wire. Fill the syringe with brake fluid. loosen bleeder nipple, insert plunger into syringe and push fluid into the caliper.
This always works for me. It is a lot easier to get the air to go up the hose than down to the caliper. Have the resiviour open and keep an eye on the level. You may have to suck some fluid out to keep it from running over.
I have another syringe to pull the excess out of the resiviour. In a pinch you could soak it up with paper towels.
Good luck, K.B.
