And seeing that you're in northern virginia- if your rear brake line behind the gas tank has not cracked open yet, just set aside a couple bucks a week and plan to replace it next summer, if not sooner. Very well known spot for road salt to collect and corrode the line.

 

A one person bleeder works great many videos available and its cheap buy some Silicone hose on ebay for the needed line about 3 feet of 4mm thats ID not OD 5mm may work but a loose fit.

ID= inside diameter
OD= outside diameter
