Yes be careful of that. It is difficult to get the hang of not letting the air in around the threads of the bleeder screw. Next time I do it I'm going to have it done by a shop with the proper pres bleeder. I wasted too much time getting it air free to be worth the trouble. I finally used teflon pipe dope on the threads, carefully, to get a good seal.
