Go buy a new cheap oil can...connect a hose from the can to the bleeder screw...put teflon tape on the bleeder screw threads so it doesn't leak ...reverse bleed...after you try this you will never bleed motorcycle brakes any other way.

Okay, I decided to do it myself. It'll be a couple days as I want the Genuine HD parts this time (and not the Drag Specialties). Of note: The MoCo is obsoleting this kit. Part #45006-87B (supercedes 45006-87A). I ordered two of them, but they are typically Harley priced at $35.64 a piece. Plus shipping from New Castle HD.

Need to find a small cylinder hone. Any recommends?

I've used a .308 gun bore brush wrapped with #0000 steel wool soaked in brake fluid. A few revolutions in the drill and it cleans out the mc bore and polishes it out real nice. ��

Use a vacuum pump like mighty vac to bled the calipers. Just keep an eye on the reservoir fluid level.
