Do it right by the manual. If you don't have one, get one.

Read Scuba Dans treatise on the poor man's Speedbleeder that ran over the last two weeks. Might Help. Although I read later he ordered and installed real SpeedBleeders.

order the speed bleeders, this job becomes SIMPLE with the speed bleeders.

1. fill your reservoir with brake fluid, and keep checking it's full often
2. open the speed bleeder, and attach clear hose which is drained into a cup
3. pump the brakes slowly until no air bubbles come out of the speed bleeder
4. tighten speed bleeder
5. done

repeat on each wheel.

you should do your clutch too !!! this is a maintenance item that everyone should do often
