Awesome!!!! Watched the video a few times to be sure I got the steps down. This video also showed me which tools I needed to get first. If this little 63 year old lady can do it, you can too! Thanks Park Tool!

Thanks.
I have the drop bar levers.
I could not push the fluid back up.
It did go back and forth when the lever was worked.
And it did flow from reservoir to calliper.
Put it back together and it now works.

Wonderful! The details make all the difference and you explained it beautifully. I was doing 80% of that and having no luck. After the video, I nailed it on the first try!

Awesome video. I have Bravvos brakes on my Kona, and I have noticed no video covering their bleed, but noticed that the Tektro Flat bar levers hare the same, and the calipet, though a copy of Shimano MT-200's, uses the same bleed port design. Now I can get my spongy brakes firmer

One tip. Always buy brakes with bleed niples. Its the only right way manufacturers should build it.

Good video. I use a pencil to make an alignment mark on the bars before I rotate the lever. Really helps to get it back where it was.

Im maintaining an ebike fleet and theyve got nutt brakes installed. Tektro methods worked the best for me so far but always wonder how i should set the reach on the lever before the bleed. Anyone have that quick answer? Thanks!

You don't mention it specifically but it looks like you use the 10mm bleed blocks for TRP brakes. Is that correct?

The TRP T4 bleed procedure is much less tedious than the Sram brakes I had before.

7:51 why is air being pumped back in? I can see an air bubble in the top syringe tubing clearly being pushed back into the system.

The video says the green adapter has an M5 thread (3:53) but the BKM-1 and BKM-1.2 manuals say it has an M6 thread. Which is it?
