    Put something behind your brake pedal Dom. If you push the pedal to the floor, the piston will be travelling further than normal and you could damage a seal etc if there is any pitting there. Fwiw, I've used a vacuum bleeder before and it worked well for me.

    EDIT: Didn't see this in your last post Dom, which mirrors what I've said above.

    The brake bias valve has been left out of the above and must be bled. From what I remember reading, it should be done first. Then PR, DR, PF, DF.
