I have finally (after rounding one bleeder) successfully gotten all corners bled. The question I have is can I just top up the reservoir after disconnecting the power bleeder?
Thanks,
jeff

Yes, just make sure your fluid level is not too too low. Depressurize the bleeder, and screw it off...top up fluid
Just remember to also bleed your slave cylinder...and btw: make sure that the fluid is high in the reservoir when bleeding the slave....its easy to get air in the hose that connects to the slave from the reservoir when bleeding the brakes.
I just did my brake fluid flush/fill, and did the slave at the end....i had lots of dirty fluid/air coming out, and the clutch feels much better now. close the slave when u see clear solid fluid coming out

Thanks! I will do the slave once I get a new braided hose - the existing is starting to deteriorate, and would need to be bled once that is replaced. Also have to replace both left side bleeders, they were both frozen and not ready for the long haul.
