the fronts are so easy to bleed. i bled the upper rear nipple. remember to start on the furthest from the brake fluid tank. so...

1.R pass.
2.R driv.
3.F pass.
4.F driv.

if i remember right thats how i did mine and theres alomst no pedal travel when you tap it.

Like pretty much anything to do with general maintenance, this info is easily found in the Factory Service Manual. If you don't have the FSM, click here and download it in PDF format for free.
