Ron, Install your brakes the way the manual says. Not a problem to bleed the brakes. Just bleed them from the "bottom". In other words, do this. Get a good refillable oil squirt can. Put your new clean brake fluid in the can. Attach one end of a piece of flexible tubing to the spout and the other end to the bleeder valve...... Up on the brake fluid reservoir there is an overflow tubing running to the bottom of the cowl. Lengthen that with another piece of tubing temporarily and put the end into a container. Then open the bleeder valve and pump away until you see a good stream of brake fluid coming out of the overflow tube into the container. Close the bleeder valve and you have an "airless" brake system. Repeat for the other side. You may have to refill your squirt can a couple of times depending on how big it is.
