2 critiques. 1) Clean the caliper and pistons (with pads removed) before you push the pistons into their bores. 2) The dirtiest oil is in the caliper, why push it up into the lever? Do a gravity drain first to purge that filthy oil out of the caliper and then go about a standard bleed procedure.

You just overfilled the system, my man.

Can you use Shimano fluid on the TRP Evo? I have a whole quart sat in the shelf that would otherwise go to waste

is there an O ring on the bleed port? 2. Is there O rings on the inner caliper?

Can you use a shimano bleed cup? Or is a special needed?

my bleed port screw won't unscrew (on the front and rear calipers) I even snapped a torx trying to unscrew it any ideas as I even purchased a new one and that won't unscrew either! it's frustrating as hell

You pushed the pistons back into the caliper before cleaning them. The pistons get filthy as the pads wear, and the pistons work their way out of the bores. If you push them back into the caliper without cleaning them first you're dragging all that muck and filth back past the piston seals which causes premature wear which obviously isn't good. Also, those park pad spacers have a 10mm end, and a 12mm end. You use one or the other, depending on the brake you're working on but here you're using the middle section of the bleed blocks, which is incorrect. They're too thin in the middle and will result in an overfilled system.

I know a better method , the principle is that always bleed with VACUUM , you need two syringes , only that not with an ultra flexible hose (like in the video) instead a semi rigid-flexible one , and short , max 5 cm , push back the pistons , block them , fill one syringe with fresh oil and connect to the lowest point in the system witch is the piston , connect the second one empty syringe at the lever , now actuate the empty syringe to suck oil from the system and from the full syringe , due to the vacuum the micro air bubbles will expand in volume and start to rush at the highest point of the system ... its the most perfect , no waste method

man i tried before this and contaminated everything with oil... oil everywhere, on the discs, pads, on the ground and the ceiling of the garage (the syringe exploded

The last step is unnecessary. The system will be overfilled if you let the pads get in contact with the rotor with the funnel still attached to the lever. It wont be a problem unless you install new pads…
