2 methods.
1st is pressure bleed, but only if all the rubber connectors are in good shape from the reservior to the locker masters.
2nd method takes 2 people,1 to pump and keep fluid level full. the other to operate the bleed valves on the locker slaves. Cycle each master 40 times to flush the lines of all old fluid

I use the one man bleed tool http://www.toolcentral.com/ecommerce.ph ... duct/20483
Also use a turkey baster to suck out the out fluid in the reservoir.

Years ago when I had a Mog I bought a power bleeder and it was great. It is a one person operation.
For those of you in the know...Jim
Can I use the same tool to bleed the brakes and lockers on the pinz?

Here's what I use on both the lockers and the brakes

That's the one I have. Got it from EI, too.
Thanks, looks like I'm set to go.
edit: When bleeding the brakes, which reservoir do I use...left or right?

I bled my lockers last weekend using a compressed air vacuum bleeder (not the pressure style that Erik spoke of. I picked it up at Harbor Freight, it is exactly the same one that Girot's Garage sells). It took maybe an hour total. The reservoir and line fluid was dark brown. So it had not been changed in a while. Both my brake and clutch fluid was only slightly yellow so I am not sure why the locker had not been changed. It was much easier than the brakes. My first full fluid change service is finally done!
