Pustelny taught me this years ago, and I have never had a brake bleeding problem since. It's completely in line with what others have posted. Gravity bleeding. Make sure all of the bleeders are vertical and facing up. Then fill the master cylinder and open all of the bleeders. Let gravity work for a few hours, periodically checking and topping-off the master cylinder and when you close the bleeders, you'll have brakes. As Buckwheat would say "It's as simple as dat".

NO. I tried and about got arthritis on my 4 wheel disc that we just bled last weekend. It never sealed tight on the bleeders, therefore, NEVER even got the right rear bled.

Did it manually, old school.
