Dump the vacuum. I work alone and have just done a complete brake system replacement on my new to me 41 . I also did the lines . I fabricated a broom stick to hold the pedal down . Its placed on the bottm front of the seat . As a mechanic , we had a locking extension rod that was used for this purpose.
Just push the pedal down , insert rod and go bleed . Short releases of fluid . As the pedal gets firmer and higher , adjust the seat to fit your rod .
