Thanks to Re:5kcstq brake question

[Larry C Leung]

You will need to either buy a pressure bleeder (EZ-bleed) or make one
(spare brake reservior cap, valve stem into the hole, hose and a tire
inflated to maybe 10 psi), lots of brake fluid (like time to bleed the
whole system), and ideally, a second opposite side rear caliper. Bleed,
right rear, left rear, right front, then left front. Ideally, pick a
fluid that's a different color than what you presently have, bleed until
the color changes, then do one more cycle. Doing this every two years or
so may keep the P-brake from sticking again.
