Do yourself a king size favor, cover your paint with plastic & then again with old towells to be on the safe side & don't over torque the MS cover screws. Then move the lever slowly in & out.
Regarding speed bleeder screws, I bought 'em & chicken'd out. They were sooo tight I thought I was gonna' foul the caliper threads.
best tool: wife @ the lever

The brake is gravity and is not just like a car... leave the bleeder screw shut "tight" and fill master "rags" are a good idea leave the cover off and pump the brake nice and slow and just be patient, nice and easy... you see little air bubbles coming up from the fluid... when there are no more air bubbles coming up cover the master with a rag and pump it harder you'll see the fluid hit the inside of the rag and you should feel some pressure... be patient it'll work... some times you have to leave it for a while and let the air work it's way up. I think every time you crack the bleeder screw it like starting all over... IMO Good luck
