Default Bleed Brakes - DYI

Any tips/pictures or detailed instructions on how to bleed the brakes. I would like to do this myself instead scheudling/ bringing the car for an appointment and paying the high price.

I do around 10 DE track events a year, and would like to know how to bleed the brakes and change the brake pads. I am sure for some of the individuals in this forum this is a trival task.

Do the $45 pressure bleeders work? I have one, but have not taken it out of the box. Or should I continue to take the car in and have a professional bleed the brakes.

Use a pressure bleeder, a bleeder bottle and an 11m wrench. Detailed instructions also at www.p-car.com/diy
