can someone please tell me the best way to bleed my brakes. starting from the furthest brake from the master cylinder i open the nipple, pump the brake till there is a steady flow of fluid coming out. ask "pumper" to hold, then close the nipple. and repeat. how long do i do this at each brake? is this correct??.. i was told this is not and that i was supposed to bleed the master cylinder first. how do i do that?? please, can someone do a Workshop on proper bleeding

cheers ppl!.

pump the brake and fill teh reso'. keep doin this untill then fluid level stops droping.
then start at the rear left. pump and open the nippel till u get a constant flow of fluid. then repeat to right rear, then lrft fornt then right front.

constantly check the reso's fluid level and top up as needed, untill compleat
