Two things I wish I'd learned earlier:

1. With a vacuum bleeder, it's hard to tell if the bubbles are coming
from the system or leaking around the tube.  Better to use a pressure
bleeder (best), gravity, or a friend on the pedal.

2.  Brake fluid is water soluble, so no need for solvents or
degreasers to clean it up.

Good luck,

Alex
