You do not need the second person to pump the pedal while you manipulate the bleeder screw.

It will try to suck air back in through the open bleed screw rather than fluid from the master cylinder. Dave Russell BN2; /html/healeys/2007-02/msg00317.html (7,293 bytes)

Re: poor brake pedals (score: 1): Author: "Alan Seigrist Blue 100" <healey.nut@gmail.com>; Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2007 10:29:38 +0800; Just one question - my early BN1 has the bleed screws on the bottom rather than the top of the wheel cylinders... in this case I'm not so sure your method will work...
