Speedy Bleeder install help
Since I am waiting for my heads to come back I figure I would install the speedy bleeders. Rear one went in no problem, bleeder is on rear of caliper and only got a drop of brake fluid out when I removed the old bleeder.
Front ones are a different story, the bleeder is in the brake line where it attaches to the caliper. I put a half inch wrench on the larger bottom part and started to remove the top (bleeder) and brake fluid started draining out so I tightened it back up.
Question: It seems that the fluid will just keep leaking, so how do I get the new bleeder in without losing all the fluid? Or will it eventually stop coming out since I am not putting any pressure on the master cylinder?

Just didn't want brake fluid running all over the place and didn't want all the fluid to leak out of the master cylinder.
BTW....I have ABS
