When I used the EZ Bleed last year I was amazed at how easy and quick it
is.
Don't worry about draining it first. Just hook up the EZ Bleed and open
it up until clean clear
liquid come out. it won't take long.
The cellophane won't do any good with the EZ Bleed. The theory there is
to not allow air
to get into the MC thus creating a low pressure area which will have the
effect of outside
airpressure pushing in at the nipple. (As a Physics Professor will
tell you, there's no such
thing as suction).
And don't worry. Brakes are pretty easy on the B. The hardest thing is
getting the
rubber cap on over the hand brake levers in the drums.
And rusted parts.
Last year, I bought new shoes, adjusters and cylinders for the rear.
When working the B's brakes
are pretty good.
