Bleeding the Bloody Brake on the FM166

Up to 3x attempts, brakes are still less than perfect. Which is not enough since that is the point
of the FM166.

Attempt 2 I had help from Zeb, made some huge messes and sprayed mineral oil all over. Good father son project.

Reviewed some more You Tube and realized I might need a much better bleed kit. Much complaining about tiny air bubbles, clamps on hoses, dual-syringes. Jagwire $60 kit.

So I went out and tried again, using more suction to pull out the bubbles, more dramatic mineral oil
sprayings and leakings - just a mess. Maybe a slight improvement.
