Finally got the hang of setting up hydraulic disc brakes without a mess

I used to get brake fluid everywhere trying to bleed them, but after watching a mechanic in Denver use a syringe to push fluid from the caliper up to the lever, I haven't had a single spill in my last ten jobs.

Wait, you used to get fluid everywhere? I can't even picture that. My whole garage would be a biohazard zone.

Reminds me how people used to be way less careful with stuff.

Honestly I used to think it was no big deal but this changed my mind.
