I first read the title as 'bellending' and thought you must really love your K24's - sorry nothing useful to add.

Also nothing to add other than I was intrigued as to how one bellended a set of brakes.

I thought exactly the same. My mind is warped too.

Just don't squeeze the lever while you are filling it up.

look on sram site for instructions on bleeding Avid's
Same process and I found them far easier to follow and better written than the formula instructions

- be careful when removing grub screw from bleed port on caliper - there is a tiny o ring that will prob get washed out with leaky fluid - it is a pig to replace if lost

- bleed screw on lever is also in a pig of a place, easier to remove lever from bars to get lever orientated vertically

other than that its quite straightforward

be careful when replacing the grub screws on the caliper and lever... don't get them mixed up like I did... the caliper screw will slip straight into the reservoir and ye cannea get it out without complete disassembly! ๐Ÿ˜ณ

And with keeping the lever upright (ie vertical to the ground) when bleeding, I find it easiest to just lie the bike on it's side 8)

PS: I too read the OP as bellending his brakes... thought it a bit odd ๐Ÿ˜‰
