The only tip I would add:
With the Longacre bottle mounted high above the caliper during bleeding - that worked perfect, allowing trapped air bubbles to migrate up the tube into the catch bottle. When done bleeding, close the bleeder screw, then move the Lonacre bottle to the floor or BELOW the caliper, before removing the hose from the bleeder nipple. Since the column of fluid is below the nipple, when you remove the hose it actually sucks (vacuums) the residual brake fluid into the tube - spilling absolutely zero fluid onto the caliper!
Try it - works perfectly!
