The fluid in the Res. does drop but only because it is lost when I bleed the brakes.
Other than that the fluid does not drop

Howdy! I used to not do it myself, but I got into trouble with it once. So now I use the little nipples and bits they include in the box for that purpose. I used to just toss all that junk. I guess that's why they mention it in the instructions. I guess I was just lucky for over 40 years. You could even do it on the truck. Put a pile of rags under the MC, crack the fittings loose one at a time, and have someone pump the peddle for you, just like bleeding the wheel cylinders. HTH John
