Was really hoping for some experienced mechanic or amateur to summarize HOW they do it in 30 minutes. Videos I've seen use various approaches, and all seem quirky. I doubt cxwrench or other experienced bike mechanics follow model specific instructions after they've done hundreds of bleeds/fluid changes on various models of brakes. Why isn't there a simple method that just varies slightly on different models, and if there is, what are the essential steps?
