Default Brake Bleed

Time to change the brake fluid and wanted some opinions on this idea. Planning on using this tool and attaching the hose to the bleed screw and drawing the brake fluid out. Brake master cylinder cap would be removed and a person would monitor the level and add fluid as necessary. Would take all precautions to not get air in the lines but just wanted to make sure it would not hurt anything by pulling the fluid through the system. Thanks

It won't hurt, but I am not sure if the plunger will create enough vacumm to draw the fluid out. Let us know how it turns out.

if you have another person to help just do the old pump and hold way of bleeding the brakes, it'll be alot faster

That syringe is too small to do anything meaningful.

Get some Earl's Solo Bleeds and don't worry about air bubbles.
