Is this a serious question for someone doing such a job.

I think cap off, otherwise as you bleed (if you had cap on) how would you bleed.......o_O

ps think half your post is missing Brotha

Just gravity bleed it . Slacken off one bleed valve the farthest away from the servo.. so fluid drips out, so let it drip without any help from you . Important , that you dont touch the brake pedal at all . Just keep an eye on the fluid fill tank, and keep it topped up at all times. Do this till fluid drips out clean . Lock up and move to the next bleed valve .
