Great Instructional Video! I would only add - Try to avoid allowing the air bubble to get into your brake hydraulics because they can sometimes be difficult to remove and they will cause your brakes to feel "spongy".
There's another method called "gravity method", which doesn't require a syringe, just the end hose of the syringe and of course the reservoir attached to the brake lever, do you think that gravity method will work?
Actually, your guide is incorrect as it is missing 2 essential steps. 1. Before inserting the bleeding block, you would push pistons back into the body while the cup is already installed on a lever (system open on the top). 2. Your caliper will be with bubbles unless you push back at least 1/2 of the cup back with a lever main cylinder. You can seal the bottom screw only after that part. You can learn the correct process at the parktool or shimano manuals.
Hello, I set up per the video and did the half to 3/4 turn on the screw. Don’t know why, but when i tried this method, the fluid would not go up through the system. Almost like it was plugged. When I reversed the process (ie drain out into a plastic bag), there was flow. Any reason why there was no flow when using syringe at break? Tnx in advance!
Your vid is the most direct I could find on RUclips, thanks bud

Thanks! I needed to understand what that valve was next to the rubber grommet.
Excellent video!
safety first
Helpful, generally Shimano brake system is very easy and simple to bleed. But anyway thank you👍

thanks for the video
You're welcome!
Was the funnel a m5 or m7 thread?
not sure but the p/n is BL-M575

I would turn the plug screw out maybe 1.5 turns then. Sounds like you're not getting enough open. Mine worked at 3/4 but ymmv.
Same problem right now -- WTF. Oil is leaking out of the port as i hit the syringe. Fucker.
how many ml are you injecting into it ?
Good question. Probably 15ml for a flush (per brake)
