So...when he does the install....should he just do the gravity bleed process you describe..?? Will he need the tool to hold the piston in position.?? If so, who is the best source for that gizmo. Thanks...wilma

From Jake Dykstra's thread. Unfortunately, he didn't post where he bought the tool.
OK - so some good things happening already this morning. On my way into the office I stopped by my buddies shop for some advice. He tapped the valve lightly with a dead blow hammer after shooting some compressed air into the port and the piston centered on its own. I installed the centering tool to hold it in position.

I don't have this tool, and always do the gravity bleed method, in the same order as bleeding..RR, LR, RF, LF.
I do open all 4 to begin with and shut them as fluid appears and then go around in the proper order and let fluid drain for a few seconds each. Keep checking the master with all 4 open, it can go down quickly at first.
