Brake bleeding


I have just installed a Front Disk conversion and replaced all my brake lines.
I bench bled the master cyl and now want to do the rest
with out a motor to supply vacumn will pedal pressure still work??
Or shoul a just do a gravity "bleed"
starting with Pass rear.
I tried to bleed the master on the bench but di not knowi was supposed to seperate it from the Vacumn part
I do not want ot buy a fancy pump system unless it is neccesary.
Thanks

I have had very good success using a suction gun on the bleeder screws on the rear wheels. Usually I've found the fronts will pretty much come in by themself but a suction gun would surely do it for them if not.

As far as not running, it still should work.

thanks Carl
When you use a suction gun do you have to leave the top of the master Cyl off ??

I never have yet.

Also, I pull slowly on the gun and as soon as I see fluid enter the clear hose, I stop. I am not sure the plunger material in the gun is compatible with brake fluid.
