BP's line is correct--but be careful power bleeding at all, as you can damage some of the residual valves in the system if they are present. Why not liquid bleed the system and be safer? Just need a clear, clean bottle, some vacuum line and some brake fluid. Hang the bottle somewhere about 1/4 full of brake fluid, attach the vacuum line over the bleeder screw and into the bottle UNDER the level of the fluid. Pump the brakes 3-4 times, close the bleeder screw and remove the vacuum line. Than follow the normal bleeding sequence. One man brake bleeding, almost fool proof!
