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.
