Gravity bleeding is simple. Just an example: you just replaced a wheel cylinder, and it has no fluid in it, but there is fluid above it in the lines and master cylinder. All you do is open the bleed screw on the part you just replaced and wait for gravity to pull the fluid down and fill the...

I wouldn't call getting all the air out with less fluid loss cutting corners. And no, I'm not trying to pick a fight with you Porky. I just see so many people wasting tons of fluid, or even better, not being able to successfully bleed their brakes at all. Through all the work I've done on these...

Bench bleed it before you install it, then gravity bleed it once you have it installed. Then let it sit overnight and you shouldn't have to do any active bleeding at all.
