two man opperation
one on the pedal the other on the brake caliper
do one side at a time

pump pedal to build pressure
hold pedal to floor
turbo bleed screww 1/4 turn to let out fluid
tight screw and release pedal back up
pump pedal for pressure
hold pedal to floor
turbo bleed screww 1/4 turn to let out fluid
tight screw and release pedal back up
if you don't see the pattern by now...

here is the general rule for bleeding-- Start at the wheel farthest from the master cylinder. Do the Right Rear first, then the Left Rear, then the Right Front, then the Left Front. Do as mentioned above. Pump the pedal to build pressure, then loosen the bleeder screw to let out fluid, and BEFORE the pedal is all the way down, tighen the bleeder screw, to make sure no air is sucked up when the pedal is on its way back up. Do this to each wheel about 5 or 6 cycles, or until you have all new, clean fluid coming out. If there is air in the system, you might hear the fluid pop a little when it is coming out the bleed screw...Thats it! And also, when your replace brake pads, be sure to have new rotors or at least turn(machine) the old rotors, or else the two metal mating surfaces won't wear in together properly, causing squeeling or bad braking...

There's a way to to it one-manned: attach a little hose to the bleeder nipple that is immersed in a can of brake fluid. Siphon a little out first so there is no air in the hose. (I use clear aquarium tubing) Then open up the bleeder screw and go pump out a bunch of brake fluid. Watch the fluid reservoir to make sure you have plenty new fluid to go down, don't wanna run dry.

Yes, it does suck to have to keep getting out and looking at where you're at, but if you don't have anyone around... it works ok. I do this with the car running, but you might not have to, I'm not sure.
