Bleeding Brake

I've prepared to do my brake bleed, what should I look out?
I've got 4 bleeder screws, 1 bleeder wrench, 1 empty spring water bottle(1000 mL),1 transparent bleeder tubing and 2 bottles of DOT4 brake fluid.

Before I get into the bleeding process, what should I look out? All help are appreciated.

If you have ABS, my 97 FSM lists disconnecting the electrical connections for the ABS actuators or the negative battery cable before bleedin the system.

Also, check the specifics on order for your year. I think mine was L rear, R front, R rear, L Front. Sorry - too lazy to get up and check right now.
