painting/ need to get off brake line.
ok, as you know i am in the process of some painting on my 4-wheeler. i'm working on the front left side currently. i have the tire off (painted rims yesterday) and i have removed the left steering connecting rod, 'pitman' arm that connects the steering rod to the 'knuckle' and the top and bottom A-arms. i have sanded and painted all of the mentioned parts. now i want to paint that knuckle but to get it off i would have to remove the brake line connected to it. the manual says i have to bleed the whole system to take it off. when i just loosen the nut it starts to bleed and i cant get a ratchet on it to get it off quick enough and hold it above reservior level. is there anyway i can get it off with very minimal bleeding then plug it so i dont have to drain the whole system for just the one side?

Tie the brake handle back so brakes are slightly applied. This will prevent master cyl. draining completely. After you reattach brake line you'll have to bleed the brakes.
