Motive Power bleeder, only way to go. I used speed bleeders which are ok but a power bleeder gets you a rock hard pedal. Motive gives you these chains in there kit, there junk. Go buy two 8 inch C clamps to hold the top of the motive bleeder to the master cylinder. Part number 0105

Top tools in my tool box

1/2 Dewalt 18 volt impact wrench

Motive Bleeder BUT, throw away the chain type clamps that come with it a buy a big heavy duty C-clamp to hold it tight against the MC.

I use a small combination wrench and a coffee can, and then I gravity bleed it. Rock hard pedal and easy as crap to do.
