Step 1:
Fill resiviour
Step 2:
Open Bleeder valve on right rear
Step 3:
Attach clear hose to valve, dont forget to put the clear hose in a container. Have the end of the hose submerged in new fluid...watch for bubbles.
dont let the hose come out of the fluid when bleeding and have someone apply brake pedal slowly while watching for fluid to run,
Always making sure Master Cylinder doesn't go dry
Step 4: Once air bubbles are no longer coming out of vavle, close and move to left rear.
Repeat 3
Step 5:
Move to right front
Repeat 3
Step 6:
Left front
Repeat 3
Step 7:
Fill Master Cylinder to full line.

Another minor correction. According to 96-00 Helms, this is the correct that you bleed each corner.

bleeding sequence, hahahhahahahahhahahaha

that's the lamest thign i've read in a while. You don't have to go in any certain order. just make sure you do them all once, and then go back and recheck them. i bleed mine twice per wheels.

hmmm. ok. someone please explain to me, what is the hose for?? i dont understand the hose bit. thanks guys

The hose allows you to see air bubbles and prevents air from entering the caliper (if you keep it in the fluid)

plus w/o a hose if the pedal was pressed too hard/fast frake fluid would rocket out and you'd have a mess...along w/ air going in

I am about to bleed my brakes too, when doing the disc conversion.

This I found will probably help during the bleeding process:
