Was able to bleed the line with only YouTube instruction.
Apparently, I'm a mechanical girl, at least according to a bystander. Either he was surprised that I have ruby lips AND car skills or he caught sight of the windup key sticking out of my back.
Then, I forgot to replace the reservoir cap (I didn't say that my skills were very impressive) and ended up bleeding the line again in a friend's driveway after another friend brought another container of brake fluid. Problem solving, camaraderie, fresh baked goods, what more could you ask for in a night?
