#1 Get a Motive Bleeder and fill master cyl with your favorite brake fluid
#2 Remove master cyl cap and install motive bleeder cap
#3 Pump Motive Bleeder to 13psi
#4 Get a 10mm wrench and loosen the inner and outer nipple from each wheel, close it up once clear fluid comes out
#5 Do two wheels and remove the motive cap and fill the fluids back to the top again.
#6 Repeat step #3 and do #4 and #5 on the last two wheel
#7 Perform final check on brake fluid and you are done.

It's expensive @ $60, but well worth it in my opinion. I used to be able to do it without taking the wheels off before I realized there was a nipple on the back side of the caliper. I can do it in about 45 min taking my time from start to finish.

Any DOT4 fluid is fine, no need for the crazy $20 bottle on a street car. I am using $11/bottle brake fluid at the track and I haven't died yet

This is unnecessary and a waste off money all you need to do is jack the up take all four wheels off place a catch pan under each wheel fill the M/C to the top and open all 8 bleeders check the M/C to make sure it doesn't run dry ,start with a Quart of new fluid about 10-15 minutes later(after keeping the M/C full) by this time you should have used most of the Quart close all 8 bleeders rinse off the calipers with water to dilute the brake fluid that spilled over top of M/C and your done that's it no one is needed to help bleed the brakes the brake pedal is very firm and at the top.
