Just to be sure are you saying you create a loop with the hose from the bleeder back to the reservoir in the MC and then as the air is displaced by fresh fliud being pumed in the remaing fluid from the hose goes back into the reservoir?

I used a jar and a hose and do each wheel starting with the farthest and work forward each time letting the air out and the hose stays under the level of the fluid in the jar/can so as to not draw air back into the cylinder if I do not close it off right away or on the downstroke.

Correct, once the loop is complete, any air is visible, it,s a one person operation, your not getting up and down, filling the M/c every three pumps, knocking over the bottle, just remember to block the end of the hose when changing from wheel to wheel. good luck.

I see how it will work and not just on the military vehicles. The hose becomes a reservoir as well as a transfer tube...thanks! I'll give it a try next bleed.
