Yeah I forgot about them rubber sealing ones.
I did mean just solid copper ones but that was overlooked in my post.

an easy way to cheat on the washer is barely lose the banjo and twist everything to attempt to seat
agree on master above ALL for bleeding, I tie my line straight up and just last week rebuilt the master on my 02 KTM 380
put the banjo in loose squeezed the caliper above the line and clamped the banjo tight, then release the brake and it pulls back fluid (not air)

Ok, so im comprehending correct, you bleeding lower unit (caliper) by banjo instead of bleeder screw?

no this is how i prevented air from entering lines when i rebuilt and connected the master
since the lines typically rises from the master air gets caught in the loop giving the "soft" feeling

raise the master and gravity bleed the system to get the air out

or use a mityvac...quick and easy..
no unmounting the master or anything. just remove lid, fill with dot 4 while sucking old fluid/air out bleeder screw with mityvac. done!

its actually the only way ive been able to get the clutch properly bled on my streetbike..
if anybody does buy one..i strongly recommend buying the metal one..
they are nice for replacing all the fluid in a system with new since they come with a recovery bottle.
