Joe;

    The system is self bleeding. Turn the steering wheel lock to lock
several times with the engine running to bleed the air out.
    Make sure the existing bomb is completely discharged before opening up
the system. You do this by applying the brakes at least 40 times with the
engine off.
    While you have the system opened up, take the opportunity to clean the
fluid reservoir, particularily the screens in the bottom of the reservoir.
