Instead of getting all worked up, tell me what brake it is so this thread can end.

You need to have the special pin for the master cylinder in order to bleed the brake. You also need two tubes that will fit over the fitting on the caliper. If you have those then get back to me and I'll tell you what to do. If not go to the LBS.

Okay, so I decided I'm gonna help you. First, you're gonna need a turkey baster and a cup of vegetable oil (DOT is just a scam to get you to buy their overpriced oil). Then unscrew the master cylinder in the lever and the little bolt on the caliper and fill the system with the oil making sure that you get rid of any air bubbles. Tighten everything up and you're golden! Big Grin

You do that to your car and let me know how that works for you. Don't listen to this post. And on top of that you have no idea how to bleed a brake. Here's how to build a bridge-get some wood and nail it together and you're golden
