Best Answer

you start out by having some one inside the truck to pump the brake pedal and you start at the wheel furthest from the master cylinder which would be the passenger rear and have the person helping you have them pump the pedal 3 or 4 time and on the last pump have them hold it while you open the bleed screw and have them hold the pedal until the fluid slows down coming out of the bleed screw then you close the bleed screw and let the person know that you are ready to have them pump it again and if they let the pedal up before you close the bleed screw that will suck air into the line so it is very important that they hold that pedal down while you have that screw open and while doing so check the level in the brake master cylinder because if it sucks in air you get to start all over.. and when you are done brake fluid can be washed off using water and don't let it come in contact with paint or it will eat the paint
