Does anyone know th= e best way to bleed the brakes? I replaced the "O" rings in the b= rake caliper because I had a slow drip. I was careful to remove the line

from the caliper and then capped off the lin= e while I had the caliper off. I installed the caliper after replacing the = "O" rings and then screwed on the flexible line and had someone

inside apply pressure to the brake (like in= a car) and loosened the bottom bleeder valve until fluid ran out. brake is= still spongy . Any help on this

would b= e great. Brad- LIV
