Sounds like you got it right - the trick is to get the bleeder closed before wifey releases the pedal each and every time. BTW, the 90 ABS unit has no bleeder screws so if there is a bubble trapped there ??? what to do.

One other trick - I have the wife put her other big toe under the brake pedal so it does not go all the way to the floor. Somehow I feel better about not running the master cylinder plunger all the way to the end of its stroke.
