When you open each nipple, if ya don't wanna get fluid spilled, go to hrdwre store 1st and get short piece of vinyl tube to force-fit onto nipple and hold a cup under it to catch fluid... ;) ...








and keep pumping till the bubbles stop, then you can tighten the bleed valve without air drawing back into the cylinder.
