Ok, so this question is not for my Porsche, because I have the Motive bleeder obviously. I have a few other Hondas, and the reviews about the Motive universal adapter are not so great that I haven't bought one.

So here's is how I have been bleeding my brakes by myself: I top off the reservoir, attach a hose to the bleeder valve, stick the other end into a container, slightly wrench open the bleeder valve, go pump the pedal several times, make sure fluid has been coming out, then tighten the bleeder valve, top off the reservoir, and move on to the next one.

Please tell me if there's anything wrong with this method, or anyway air can get back into the system?
