If you do not have a power bleeder. Start at the farthest wheel cylinder "Back right" and work your way to the closest or shortest distance from the master. Pump the peddle slowly and steady "a Buddy" don't ram on it. Keep the master full and you should not have any issues. Use silicone fluid.. Well that is about it.. Oh.. You should also run tubes from the bleeder to a glass jar with some fluid in the bottom to prevent the possible back feed of air..

Oh and welcome to Steel Soldiers! I am very familiar with the Flint area.

Welcome to the group, make yourself a power bleeder from a garden sprayer or pressure paint pot from harbor Freight. I use one all the time and it works great.

Don't forget to use silicone break fluid as most of the trucks are converted over to that. Also don't forget to bleed the booster pack.
