Bleeding Brakes?

What is the best way to bleed all four lines to get any air out of the system?

Thanks

You really need another person to help unless you pick up some 'SpeedBleeder' attachments. Start with the farthest caliper down the line, (sorry, just got the car and haven't looked yet) usually the driver's rear. Open the bleeder (with a tube on it into a container) and pump the brake, fill the reservoir, repeat until clear. Don't let the reservoir get too low. Make sure the helper closes the screw while you're pumping. Repeat on pass. rear, pass. front, driver's front.

Go for the speedbleeders, I have them on my other car and they work great!

Start with the Master Cylinder, then right rear, then left rear, then right front, then the drivers side, then Master Cylinder again.
