How do you do it? Gravity, Pumping the pedal, Pressure bleeder, vacuum or speed bleeders? I want to get a motive pressure bleeder but i heard it does not work well on foreign cars. Looking forward to doing it asap!

loosen up the bleeder valves on the brake drum and push the pump the pedal... that way works well with me... no extra tools needed than a 10mm socket and some brake fluid

Werd.

Start at the furthest one and work towards the closest.

Word x2. I just did this last night...

Start at the rear passenger wheel, you should end at the front driver...

Always helps to have a hose on the bleeder nipple going into a bottle or pan as well. I have a really nice high-tech one-man bleeder hose. It's a vinyle tube with a one-way valve on the end so you can suck in air, it will only go out. Dunno if you want to drop a ton of money on it though... its like 600 pennies!
