Well for starters, you don't crank the bleeders wide open. Loosen them just enuff to allow fluid to drip. As for keeping the fluid level full in the M/C, You'll have the cap off, so overfill the hell out of it and just keep an eye on things every so often and top off as necessary.
If you want a really neat trick, go and order a set of bleeders with the check valve in it. Once you get those installed, brake bleeding is a simple one man job, then all you need is an empty jar and a short length of hose to collect what comes out.
Tip: use never-seize on the threads of all the bleeders, wether you get new ones or not, just don't get the never-seize on rubber components.
Here's the link to Summit's page for them...

Any idea what size the 8.25's and dana 30's bleeders are? I see summit has alot of different size bleeders.

Yeah, those, Summit got them for a buck cheaper, but that's nothing. Link is fixed. As for the size, I have no idea, but you can ***** out your local parts store to match them up (they usually have them in a drawer out on the sales floor). The parts guy could maybe tell you also, but I wouldn't rely on that too much.

We did the reverse thing. Driving backwards then breaking hard. We adjusted then manually by turning the wheel with teeth. I think I left like 3 or 4 threads open. I haven't had a chance to bleed the corners yet. I'll get to it.
