Hillbilly..thanks for the responseHillbillyJake wrote:I am not sure if it is any different than any other truck. pump it up. open the bleeder. let it sink to the floor. close the bleeder. repeat until all air is removed. just start at the right rear, left rear, right front, left front. I hope this helps you out.

You should capture the fluid as it is expelled as this fluid is corrosive, for that, a clear plastic bottle should do the trick. The brake fluid reservoir should be full and capped before pressurizing and opening the bleeder valve.

should I use a hose and run it from the bleeder screw to a bottle of brake fluid ? wouldnt reuse it and it would blow out any air without sucking any back in..seen it down like that once
once I bleed one, can I open the resevoir and top off brake fluid if need be?
