    Remove large panel in trunk compartment u may have to get to front bleed screw from there and then panel covering brake reservoir there's 2 bleed nipples on top of master cylinder PITA to get to start there. Then bleed from rear corner furthest from mast cylinder. If ur car is L/H/Driver u will start from pass rear then driver rear then pass front then driver front. Good luck

    A motive Power Bleeder makes flushing the fluid a one man job and very easy. First time I flushed my 360 brake fluid many years ago, I did not know the bleeder on the master cylinder was there and still had a mushy pedal. Bled the master cylinder as mentioned by rizzo308 and it firmed right up.

    Stupid me. What is bleed sequence on computer? Does that involve activating the ABS?
