The difference between just bolting on and actually fitting something!
Use silicone tubing rather than vinyl or Tygon to bleed. It flexes more easily to get to the caliper nipples.
No issue with that. I was referring to access for opening and closing the bleed valves.
Might be worth picking up a bleeder wrench. My trusty old Craftsmen wrenches did the job fine though. Crack and torqued the bleeder with the boxed side and then use the open side to modulate the screw when bleeding. No need to He-Man them closed when you reset the lever. Just need to be barely closed to prevent air getting sucked in.
It’s the same tools I use on cars, without the pressure part. I was referring to access being a pain due to the valve being on the wheel side and behind the lines.
