The half loop shouldn't cause a problem. If you use a vacuum bleeder at the
wheel, it's a constant pull on the brake fluid, and will draw the air out.
If you use the 2-man pumping method, just bleed until you get a solid brake
fluid flow without air bubbles at least 3-5 times after the last time you
expelled air. Don't forget to keep filling the reservoir.
