"As far as bleeding sequence , ERA uses the same sequence . You want to bleed the longest lines first and then go to the shorter ones . If your calipers have bleeders on the inside and the outside , bleed the inside one first and then go to the outside one , making sure the bleeder screws are vertical ."

Passenger side rear first, driver side rear next, passenger side front next, driver's side front last. I had a great assistant in the car, my S.O., who was great at following the directions! Hope you have as good luck as I did!

Cheers!

I'm not following this. Ok, so you attach a clear tube from the bleed screw to a soda bottle partially filled with brake fluid. Then you open the bleeder screw a bit. Then don't you need someone to pump the brakes while you open and close the bleeder screw so the system draws fluid from the reservoir? I'm not understanding how Patrick and others describe a one-man process that just uses a tube.
