You connect a hose to bleeder valve, connect that hose to the main tube of Mityvac, connect the main tube to Mityvac container. Pump the Mityvac 4-5 times then loosen the bleeder valve by 1 turn, brake fluid will start draining into Mityvac container, keep an eye on reservoir and top off to max line 2 times, you are done on that wheel. Go to next wheel.
Thanks. With a pressure bleeder, you replace the fluid in the reservoir and then pressurize with the pressure bleeder, go around to all four corners and pull fluid... Done.
I'm not really saying there's a wrong/bad way, it just seems to me that pressurizing once is slightly easier, and you can flow more, longer if desired.
