Hi Joel and List,
I haven't gotten to the brake bleeding yet, but here is a more specific
question...
referring to the bentley, it says to change the brake fluid every two years.
  That is what I would like to do.  SO by following the directions as per
bentley and haynes for draining, is it possible to "gravity bleed"  the
system after draining the fluid when I refill it?  Seems like it would work,
but just take longer.
thanks,
Kim
