Finally ordered and received these brake levers. In terms of bleeding the brakes, as well as using a hand vac... Pardon my ignorance, but what does that actually entail? I understand, to a point, that bleeding the brakes is getting the air out of the system so you're only left with fluid in the lines. But how do I actually do that when I replace these? And where would a hand vac come in? Do I need one?
