OK
So after procrastinating and worring about never ever being able to drive the car again, I finally went ahead with the bleeding process. Man, I read way to much and worried way more. I had this somewhere between hip surgery and a heart bypass operation.
Anyway, I got a Mighty-vac like Blas said I should get. my son told me to get some brake fluid cleaner (Thank God) and a bunch of towels. One good thing about having prostate surgery is they let you keep the hemostat when they send you home with a cathater. Still had the hemostat and I clamped it on the hose from the pump to the slave after I finished bleeding it. That saved me from wiping up more fluid on the garage floor.
Lots of dirty, dirty fluid got sucked out and a lot more air than I ever figured I'd see.
Bottom line...fixed.
Elapsed time (including all my screwing around preparing the operating room) 45 minutes.
Thanks for all your help.
