Bleeding brakes.

[Pink_Floyd]

I am filling up my empty brake system after a body off job. I was going to fill up the reservoir, open up the passenger rear nipple and let gravity move the fluid through. Anyone done it this way and if so how long does it take for the fluid to make its way through the sysyem to the rear brakes.
I know I could use an ezebleed but some people love em and some hate them.

Start with the furthist away from the master cyclinder and work towards it, As for letting it drain through it may take a while i used the easy bleed to do the donkey work then get a hand to press/depress the pedal while i nip round and bleed them all.

In your case as it has been dry for so long best to do it again the day after let all the air settle over night then bleed again for the best results i found with a dry system.
