It's the same as any other car. Open the resevoir, and drain off as much fluid as possible and top off with new fluid. Start with the right rear, attach a clear tube and a container to the bleed nipple and open the it about 1/4 a turn and have someone push the brake pedal down slowly, careful not to have them push it all the way to the floor. have them hold the pedal down then close the nipple, then they can release pressure on the pedal. Do this until you see clean fluid come through and no bubbles.

Them move to the left rear and repeat. After left rear, right front, then left front. Make sure you tell your helper not to pump the pedal fast, and again, not to push it all the way to the floor, and you must be very carefull to make sure the bleed nipple is closed before you have them release pressure on the pedal

If you're going to be autox'ing the car or doing track stuff, I highly recommend some speed bleeders, they're about $15 shipped for all 4 nipples.

The first thing to do is buy yourself some proper wrenches to avoid rounding off the bleed screws. They are called flare wrenches or line wrenchs. Pick em up anywhere. They are indispensible for working on hydraulic lines.

Speed bleeders are great idea. I just ordered some.

Mahjik recommended the Motive Power Bleeder land it worked like a charm. It lets you bleed the brakes or clutch without assistance.

I got the motive power bleeder at Mahjik's suggestion as well and it works great, although I was a bit pissed that it doesn't fit my wife's car too (it's the import model, I thought it would work on all my import vehicles..oh well)
