Agreement with all of the brake bleeding comments above. I use just simple tools which includes a clear glass Borden milk jar to catch the old fluid. You need to be sure the end of the hose is below the level of old fluid in the jar or you will get to start over! The other thing is the order of the wheels when bleeding. I just followed the LF-RF-LR-RR and that seems to work. With my just-rebuilt BTV I notice that my brake pedal seems to require a bit more distance for stopping than before. Possible re-bleed the wheels. My old BTV hardly required any pedal distance for contact.
