Bleeding my brakes...
#2
Get the wheels off where you can get a good look at the calipers. The bleed nipple is obvious - has a little rubber cap on it. Careful with the fluid, it'll remove paint off pretty much anything.
Be sure to follow correct bleed order. MT's have an inner and outer bleed valve on each front caliper (4 altogether, plus the 2 rears).

the caliper bleeder nipple/valve is one per rear caliper
and on regular TL fronts its 1,
brembo fronts is 2, you do the outer until its clean and clear fluid- then the innner
friend is holding pressure on brake pedal while you open valve 1/4 turn and they keep pushing
NOTE noobs place a 2x4 block under brake pedal to limit its travel to 3/4 of way to floor
Otherwise you hyperextend master cyl rod and damage master cyl

brake fluid does bad things to car paint- in a hurry!! use rags around master cyl when refilling after each wheel
rims are not much different
It depends on your wheel clearance to the wrench and rim - sometimes you can do 2 or all 4 with the wheels on
the book shows wheels on with using a tube attached to the bleeder nipple
Keep clean shop rags handy

On the AT there is ONE bleeder valve per wheel. Start at the front driver side and work around clockwise.
On the MT there are TWO bleeder valves for the front brakes - inside and outside. Bleed the Outside Drivers, then Inside Drivers, then Outside Passenger, then Inside Passenger. Now move to the rears.
There you have ONE bleeder valve on each rear wheel. Passender side first, then driver side.
