I think it will take a very small tube and a very careful hand to pump fluid into/thru thesmall hole in theMC.Be very carefull if you try this approach. It seems like it would be very easy to spray fluid out of the MC and onto other parts of the bike, and we all know how damaging that can be.The approach I use is the "reverse". I use a syringe to "suck" the fluid thru the bleed valve of the slavecylinder. It's a poor-man's approach to the more expensive vacuum devices that are often used. HTH

You can use a squeeze bottle and a hose to push fluid backward from the bleeder to the master cyl. with good results. Be careful not to let the reservoir run over though.

I completely agree. You can get a decent vacuum setup for about $30. I don't have time to do the "squeeze bottle" thing and risk spraying brake fluid all over everything, all in the name of saving a couple of bucks.
