pump brakes, open valve let air out, then close quick.. repeat until it squirts out really hard and you hear no air or bubbles escaping then you have gotten all the air out.. refill brake fluid and test..

that sums it up.. heh

obviously you need 2 people for this.. unless you have one of those fancy brake bleeder things.

pump them around 3 tymes and then release the air bubbles and then close it up, do it on all sides about 4 tymes.

Around the calipers.

They are small (Metal) valves.

You need to go in a certain order too.

RP rear passenger
RD rear driver side
FP Front Passenger
FD Front driver

Go get a chiltons manaul

That's the second time today that someone has suggested I buy a service manual.

BTW, I will.
