Just bleed the front ones - the side you have just repaired first, and then the other front wheel. The brakes are split front to rear, so the rears will be unaffected.

and you can leave the Ezebleed connected to the tyre, you only need to disconnect when the bottle need refilling.  :wink:

Don't do as I did & use too much pressure in the easy bleeder.
It split the plastic brake fluid resevoir. :oops:

It shouldn't make any difference at all as long as yo do front, front then rear, rear.

Of course the worst could have happened. The seals in the master cylinder have gone apex over base.
