Bleeding Brakes / New Cable install

I do it similar to the DR. put to speed things up a disconnect the brake line from the caliper and hold the end up but keep it just a couple inches lower than where it connects to the master cylinder..when it fills(4 or 5 minutes) attach it to the caliper while it is dripping fluid. Then i pump the brake lever for 15 minutes, alot of air will bleed back through the master cylinder. After that is when I use the bleeder on the caliper, usually only have to do it 2 or 3 times, and its good to go, replace master cylinder lid and take off.
