Dave;
Practice makes perfect. Open the bleeder just enough to be able
to force fluid out by stepping on the brake pedal. DO NOT worry about the
bubbles. The pump keeps negative pressure on the cylinder so no air will
be drawn in when you release the pedal. In a sense the bubbles are a GOOD
sign.
Just hook up the vacuum and pump each wheel ten to twenty times.
I have done this dozens of times with excellent results. I try
to flush a quart of fluid through each of my vehicles every twelve to
sixteen months.
Drive Safely & Happy Holidays
