I don't have a Motive pressure bleeder, but I do have a garden sprayer that I modified to achieve the same results. My garden sprayer predates the Motive bleeder. I drilled out a brake cap, attached the sprayer hose, and put a pressure gauge on the sprayer bottle.
Don't go over 20 psi, and got too much under 15 psi and the fluid moves too slowly. I use a turkey baster to remove the old fluid, then fill the reservoir up to the top with new fluid. It helps to have a good catch bottle. I made one from a 500 ml propylene screw cap bottle, but I suppose you could make one out of a soda or water bottle. Drill a hole in the cap to push the clear tubing in, and drill a small vent hole about 1/8 inch for a vent. Get a wire coat hanger and fashion a hanger for the bottle so you can hang it from the suspension. This will keep the bottle from falling over. When you are done, don't forget to siphon some of the fluid out of the reservoir.
The order depends on the car year. For the Mark II ABS systems, you do the left front, right front, then the rears, in either order. For the 1994 and later cars, do the left front, right rear, right front, left rear.
Most likely for the 1986 and 1987 cars (no ABS), do to the left front, right rear, right front, left rear order like the 1994 cars.
