If u want 2 bleed ur brakes then first thing is get some penetrating oil and spray all nipples well before attempting 2 loosen them as they have a habit of snapping off, not too expensive on cylinders but pricey on calipers. U start from the furthest away from master cylinder, UK spec then start from rear left, rear right, front left then front right. U will need the brake fluid for ur cars brakes, a length of prefferrably clear tubing and a suitable sized jam jar, a spanner to fit , best use a ring spanner as its less likely to mess up nipple head. Also a person to pump the brake pedal 4 u..

Make sure u have checked all around ur brakes first 4 leaks, as its a waste of time and money if u do all this and it is leaking because it won't bleed properly. All fine then top up the master cylinder if req'd,one person in car one bleeding brakes. Start by putting a small amount of fluid in jar 2 prevent air returning back up tube in2 system, put tube on nipple after fitting spanner 2 nipple or put tube on and run spanner down tube, then put other end of tube in2 jar but in2 fluid. There r different ways people use 2 bleed their brakes, basically the person in the car pumps pedal a few times till any pressure is felt, get the person 2 hold foot hard 2 floor as u open the nipple it will let fluid and air escape and brake pedal goig flat 2 floor unless it hasnt b4, make sure u tell the person not 2 let pedal up untill after u have tightened nipple and said so. repeat again until air is all out, u should know as u ask person helping if pedal is getting harder, otherwise give 2 or 3 pumps at bleeding each side but ask other person 2 keep an eye on the master cylinder level and top up if needed to the fill line. If brakes feel slightly better after bleeding then repeat process and it should b ok after the next bleed, if not and all 4 wheel sides r all dry then u may have a leak on the master cylinder, if this is leaking although u can repair them its best and far safer 2 fit new as its ur main part of ur brakes, depending on how ur master cylinder is fitted with our without servo U either check from under dash or around the back of the cylinder which may have 2b removed but u will only do this as a last resort as all is working then its got 2b the master cylinder. Good luck.
