things you will need 1 a friend to help, 2 an assortment of wrenches, 3 empty. clear bottle, 4 a few bottles of dot 3 brake fluid

jack the car up put it on stands and remove all 4 wheels. get a piece of clear tubing and a clean clear bottle (empty soda bottle will work) put about 1/2 inch of clean brake fluid in the bottle. Go-to the RR brake cal there will be a small bleeder nipple on the cal. put 1 end of the tubing over the end of the nipple(tubing should fit tight on nipple)submerge the other end in the clear bottle. STEP 1 Have your friend get in the car and pump the brake until it is hard and hold pressure on the pedal.STEP 2 Crack open the bleeder. have friend tell you when the pedal is on the floor.STEP 3 close the bleeder and repeat steps 1-3 until only clear fluid comes out with no air bubbles.(see the reason for the clear bottle and line). repeat for all breaks in this order RR LF LR RF. Read your shop manual with any other questions . Make sure that you top of the mc every few bleeds you do to keep air out of the system good luck

Do you want to bleed the brakes or the master cylinder? The instructions above were for the brakes. You can also do it yourself if you use a setup like this:



No air will get back into the lines as long as the tube is submerged.
