Do it the old fashion way. If you decide to use the vacuum, move the lever slightly but keep the mavum low and go slow. The seals in the master can exert lot of pressure one way but it very easy to suck air into the system the other direction.

Take the bleeder out and match it up at your local auto parts outlet (NAPA has them).

The vacuum just makes it easier by not having to close the calipers bleed nipple you leave it open while pumping the brake and adding new fluid.

$7 each or $15 each for stainless. I'd probably spring for stainless. I think that's what I put on mine.
