Default Brake System Flush (97 civic)

I need a refresher on flushing the brake system on a 97 Civic with rear drums. I've done it on a 98 Integra before. Tell me if this is right?

1. Remove lines from brakes
2. Have somebody pump the brakes and then open the bleeder valve (one brake at a time)
3. Let fluid drain until pedal bottoms out
4. Close bleeder valve and release brake pedal
5. Repeat steps 2-4

Make sure to have at least 1/2 of your brake fluid reservoir full and keep flushing all brakes until the new fluid begins to drain from the bleeder valves.

If I've left something out (which I know I have), let me know.

Correct me if im wrong. I think all u have to do is to open and closed the bleeder valve.. i dont think removing the brake line is necessary.

AVS is correct, no need to remove the brake line.. pump pedal, open bleeder valve till pedal goes to the floor, close valve with pedal depressed, repeat until no more air is present.. you have the basic idea..
