Gotta do this sooner or later... change my damn master cylinder. As I recall, there are two bleed valves on each front caliper, 1 on each rear... and there is a proper order in which to bleed them. I can't find my manual off hand.

Does anyone have quick access to that correct bleed order? And... will I have to bleed that switch that activates the brake warning light separately too? Its been on since the first time I ran out of brake fluid... while waiting on a steep hill in a construction zone. That sucked by the way...

I know...I know. Shoulda done this 9 months ago...
