Hi,
I've bled avid juicy 3 brakes before with no problem, but now trying to with my front Promax Hornet brake and not having much success.
The process I've been following:
1. Prepare syringes (one with 3/4 filled dot4 and the other 1/4 filled) and try to remove as much air as possible (de-gas).
2. Attach 3/4 filled syringe to calliper.
3. Attach 1/4 filled syringe to lever.
4. Bleed cable, from calliper to lever.
5. Close lever handle and bleed calliper to remove as much air as possible (by applying pressure then suction alternately to get bubbles out).
