    Default quick q on bleeding brakes

    i tried bleeding the brakes, starting at the rear furtherst wheel

    put in new fluid (mixed new yellow with old blue)
    and started bleeding, but went through an entire bottle and the reserviour still hasn't completely changed to yellow

    so, question is

    can i
    1. bleed the closest wheel to the reserviour, just to empty all the blue?
    2. drain the reserviour completely, fill with yellow and bleed till no air is left ?
    3. settle on the yellow with some blue down the bottom in the reserviour? (looks like there is some dust and dirt down the bottom too)

    thanks

    If your resorvoir contains dirt... I would be emptying it and starting over. From furthest wheel to closest wheel.
