Could someone tell me the easiest way to bleed front brakes? I have a vacume pump for brakes.

I have had luck sucking it out the bleeder with a hand held vacuum pump and an inline reservoir. You could also push the fluid backwards into the bleeder until there are no more bubble in the master.

yup, what joe said. should be a 5-10min job with a vacuum pump. just remember to alternate left and right sides until you have good pressure and a semi-soft feel to the lever.

The best and easiest way it to push the fluid up into the reservoir. Air wants to rise. I just used a medicine syringe with a rubber hose.

you could do it the garage monkey way and suck air out by mouth , just make sure you use a long enough hose so you dont suck brake fluid into your mouth

Yes the taste of gas. Mom told me the garden hose was not a credit card.

The norm with these things have air in the mc, more so than the lines.
So yes a vac,or syringe,works fine.
If you dont have either just crack the line up top, then apply the lever,do that a few times then move to your bleeders.
10 min job,manual
