It was very easy. I used the Allstar Performance Bleeder Bottle (see pic above, Amazon link
http://a.co/d/9LfS4fi) and just pumped the brakes to bleed the fluid. Took about 15-20 pumps for the rear brakes on the first bleeder screw (less pumps on the 2nd bleeder screw), but only about 10-15 pumps for the fronts.
Here are the steps I did, just in case you don't know (or others reading the post):
1. Crack open the brake fluid reservoir & make sure it's full. I used a fluid transfer pump & sucked the old fluid out of the reservoir, and replaced it with new fluid to cut down on the bleeding time a little.
2. Start with the brakes furthest from the fluid reservoir & move closer. Passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, driver front.
3. 4 piston Brembos have 2 bleeder screws, make sure to bleed both on each caliper.
4. Make sure to keep the brake fluid topped off after bleeding each bleeder screw.
You could also use the Mityvac hand pump system, but I think that would make my hand sore, lol.
