New DIY. I wasn't aware there was another gravity bleed diy with photos, but if there is then that's great. More people that contribute to the community the better.

Wydget - the brake fluid in that bottle looks insane! It's almost like sludge build up haha. I'm surprised your brakes worked

Close the bleeder... get in the car and pump the brakes a few times. open it up again about a full turn then wait.

Just finished! Lmao took forever... but the sight of that blue fluid coming out of the bleeder is so satisfying haha ...I ended up closing it and going out for a drive like someone suggested. Helped a little bit.. then I noticed that the mouth of the house was a little stretched so I cut a new fresh piece and that fit on tighter and sped up the process for some reason. I also kinda messed up the order.. I went front pass, front driver, rear driver and then rear pass. Shouldn't be a problem I hope.. about to go for a test drive!

EDIT: everything looks great. thanks for the write up!

do you recommend this method over a two person pump session hehe. I heard with pumping, you can wreck the master b/c the master isn't use to being pressed that far. so do you think gravity is better.

It's really a matter of preference. Both methods will get the job done. This method takes the longest, but when done correctly gives you the best pedal feel. A lot of people do the two person pump method because it's faster, but that also has to be done correctly. It's easy to let air back into the lines that way if not done right.
If you have the patience then do gravity.
