   well u need 2 people 4 this really after u have fitted the master cylinder fill resivoir up full. Then start with your osr brake caliper. Remove the osr (offside rear) wheel and then get a m8 to sit in the car and pump up the brake pedal and then kit it pressed to the floor. Then you crack the bleed nipple of on the caliper and wait until fluid stops flowing makesure him or her keeps foot to floor. Then tighten it back up but don't SNAP IT. Then get him or her 2 pump the pedal a gain and keep foot 2 floor and then crack nipple off again and tightened up when fluid stops flowing. Basically repeat this process a few times on each corner but makesure you kit your eye on fluid level and dont empty resivoir otherwise you will have to bleed them again. Good luck rep welcome
