One way I make it easy is, I have a lift. I use the soda pop bottle with 4"
of brake fluid in it and a clear plastic hose the size so that it goes on to
the nipple and stays. Start with the wheel furthest from the master cylinder
loosen the nipple and go to the front and pull down on the brake lever (or
have someone in the car push the peddle) a few times till there is no air
bubbles. Tighten the nipple and proceed to the next closest wheel.
I guess my keys are a lift and a pop bottle and hose. Nipples do get old
clogged. Make sure the brakes are adjusted close before bleeding.
There are "speed bleeders" that are great. I have them on my front brakes
(don't ask why I only have 2), but they are great. Open the nipple push the
pedal till no air and tighten them. No need for hose or bottle.
I know this stuff from doing it wrong or badly for so many years.

OK Dennis I hope you got your brakes stoping. Are there any tricks that I'm
missing in bleeding? I replaced rear wheel cylindes and shoes all the way
around on Tylers '65 bus. I can't get them to bleed out. Suggestions?
