You got it!

Also, realize that whenever fluid is able to leak out, air is able to leak 
IN, so you need to do a very thorough job of bleeding all the air out of the 
system all over again.   Use a six-sided box-end wrench (as opposed to a 
12-point) to ensure maximum grip on the six flats on the bleeder nipple.

Good luck!

Mike

P.S.   Remember that brake fluid will devour paint instantly, so don't let 
that stuff spray around, and if it does happen to spill, wipe it up 
immediately. :>)
