a few things i experienced. never drain out all the fluid from the system. and never let the resivoir go empty while bleeding or you have to start over. 20 lbs is plenty. if you dont have experience with brake bleeding you might not want to remove the resivoir, the turkey baster should suck up most of the gunk sitting on the bottom. some suggest to wrap a plastic zip tie around the resivoir and under the steel body of the master cylinder to hold the resivoir down into the rubber grommets while putting 20 lbs pressure on the resivoir. spray penetrating oil on the bleeder screws for a couple days before the job so you do not snap one off. i get a two foot piece of clear tube to put on the bleeder so the old brake fluid can be directed into a container you dont want fluid on the pads. do not use dot 3 brake fluid. i think its dot 4. or synthetic. and bleed till you get clear fluid from each bleeder. you shouldnt have to pump the pedal with the pressure bleeder. its easier with all wheels off and on jack stands. follow the bleeding sequence in the manual. this is a good procedure to prevent problems in the future. o yea this fluid is better than paint remover i can attest to this fact. ;-)
