I bought a cheap one-man-bleeder at Advanced and it works well. Just make sure you do them in this order: Pass rear, driver rear, pass front, driver front.

Found this Open a front caliper bleed fitting and depress the brake pedal to the floor. This will shuttle the by-pass differential valve and allow fluid to flow through the by-pass line. The brake warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate when the ignition key is in the ON position. This signals the shuttling of the valve.
Re-Bleed the rear brake cylinders with the front caliper bleed fitting open.
After re-bleeding the rear brake cylinders the entire system must be bled again.
Bleed the brake calipers and cylinders in the following sequence:
1st -- Right rear
2nd -- Left rear
3rd -- Right front
4th -- Left front |

I believe he's asking because of the stupid weight adjusted proportion valve in the rear. I just got rid of mine altogether.

Ok I bled the brakes. More of pain in the ass then I thought. Now is the brake line suposed to be hitting the axle at full lock?
