thx tig, but it didnt even get to that point. I used the water bottle meathod (bleeding the fluid into water so air cant get back into the system) just fine.
After some tweaks and tinkering i got it all done pretty damn quick. let it gravity feed for a couple resevoirs full, then pumped all the bubbles out until i got to the tiny bubbles, then pumped them all out til i got no bubbles, then a few more pumps just to make sure. Then closed the bleed and did the same on the other side. No bubbles. Im going to go finish it up by trying these steps out.

Fine Bleed:
This step assumes you have a majority of the air out of the system.
1. Open the reservoir and top it off with fluid
2. Attach the hose to the bleeder of one caliper. Run the other end of the hose into the water bottle, keeping the end IN THE WATER.
3. With small short strokes, pump the lever until it is firm.
4. Squeeze the lever firmly.
5. Crack open the bleeder valve momentarily and then close it. This should be done while the lever is pulled in and NOT RELEASED.
6. Release the lever and repeat steps 3-5 until you get 3 or more full strokes with NO evidence of air bubbles.
7. Repeat for other side

Have great pressure now, just wish i could actually ride the bike out to test the new lines and HH pads.
