This is the best way to get air out of the system. To catch any overflow fluid you can use rags around the filler hole of the reservoir or you can drill a hole in a spare filler cap thread it in and attach a plastic tube to it to catch the overflow fluid, Or as I used to do,get a thin piece of wood (dia of toothpick) to use as a dipstick to monitor the fill. (somewhat time consuming) However now,I have the "visible brake reservoir" it is totally clear thick plastic and makes filling a breeze ! You just watch it as you are filling.

I then connect the tubing to the opening on the reservoir. Now the over flow fluid just goes into the bottle and I don't even need to see it. When I'm done I take the tapped tube out of the bottle and put the cap on the bottle for disposal. Cheap, easy and mess free. If you use that spray bottle in the other pictures it flushes the system so fast that it takes all the air with it. There is never any air left in the system. A fast flush does a better job of clearing any bubbles over a slow flush like you might get with just a oil can. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

I just use a small water bottle with an 8" piece of tubing taped in the mouth. The tubing attaches to the reservoir and the over flow just goes into the bottle. No mess no fuss. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
