I just figured i'd ask around as to whether the gravity deal was a legit option, and if anybody had any pros / cons to the procedure. Regardless, i'll have new fluid in my system by friday, I just am trying to figure if it's something i'll do myself, or employ an alternate method (and no, I'm not buying speed bleeders) Cheers

Does the emergency brake pedal engage near the bottom of the pedal travel, or is it pretty near the high end of the pedal?

I bet your back brakes are out of adjustment.
