[T3] Brake Hints!

[Jeff C]

Another method to prevent air from feeding back into the cylinder is to run
the bleed hose UP and over the tire and then down.
Air coming out of the valve rises up and away from the bleed valve leaving
a column of fluid above the bleed valve thus no air can feed back into the
bleed valve.
