New video for the tech lever. Not sure if the one on the hope site is for the tech lever.

Brake bleed process is exactly the same for the tech, just need to unclamp the lever clamp bolts and turn the lever vertical with the lever itself under the bars, and then pull the lever a few times to disperse any air caught in the lever reservoir.

You should push the pistons all the way back in before bleeding, and use either old pads or some wood as recommended stops the pistons getting stuck out.
