I strongly dislike bleeding brakes!

I found an interesting surprize while in my rear brakes.  One of the
adjuster wedges was in backwards.  After backing off the adjustment, I
couldn't adjust back 'cause there was a flat surface in front of the screw.

And a question: "How much fluid should it take to get any air out of the
line between the MC and the rear wheel on the other side of the car?  Apart
from the first bit of fluid from that wheel that came out foamy and greyish
brown, I'm getting bubbleless clear fluid.  (Changed it this spring.)  Any
yardsticks as to how much to pump through on each wheel?  I've probably put
three quarters of a litre through so far with no more pedal.

Did I mention that I have a distaste for bleeding brakes? :)
