Haynes' brake bleeding procedure

1. Fill up reservoir
2. Turn ignition switch to second position (On, not start), depress and hold brake pedal.
3. Slacken bleeder screw to release old fluid.
4. Tighten screw, release pedal, turn off ignition switch.
This is for ABS models only. Haynes states: "Do not allow the hydraulic pump to run for more than two minutes at a time. After this period, switch off ignition, and allow the pump to cool for ten minutes before restarting. Under no circumstances must the pump be allowed to run dry."
The manual also has a note that the front brakes must be bled before the rear brakes (in cars with ABS).
I have a brake bleeder cap that allows me to pressurize the reservoir. I pump the reservoir up to about 20 psi and then bleed the brakes--works great for me.
Hope this helps.
