Start with the wheel farthest from the master cylinder, usually the right rear for left-hand drive cars.
Put a hose on the outside upper bleed nipple connected to the bleed bottle or a catch can.
Have your assistant pump the brake pedal, then hold it, loosen the bleed screw and let out the air and fluid, then close it.
If you have no assistant, make sure the hose's end is submerged in the bleed bottle, loosen the screw, then pump the brake pedal.
Repeat until only fluid shows in the hose with no air bubbles, then tighten the outside bleed nipple and attach the hose to the inner nipple.
Repeat the procedure on the inner nipple.
Check the fluid level in the master cylinder as you work. If you pump all of the fluid out of the reservoir, you will have to start all over again.
Repeat the process with each wheel, moving successively toward the master cylinder. Right rear, left rear, right front, and finally left front.
Refill the master cylinder reservoir and replace the cap.
