That's pretty much the process for bleeding brakes and it's the same with a jar.

It's a real workout on the forearms.

Let me help you dude.... go to autozone and get this or something like it. (My autozone had a cheaper one that was all plastic) You will cut your time to a third at most, and you'll save yourself a lot of wrenching on the nipple... any woman will tell you that there is such thing as too much wrenching on the nipple... eh? eh?

I promise you, you'll be glad you spent the money on it once the job's done.
