    Same as every other model mate.
    If theres 2 of you get one inside the car to work the brake pedal and the other on the bleeder nipple "SLOWLY" undoing it untill the pedal almost hits floor then tighten up. Repeat process until happy. dont forget to keep your reseviour topped up.

    I got a "one man bleeder kit" but found it to be shit So got the missus on the pedal instead.
    Hope that helps.

    one man kits can be useful in that they dont suck air back up the tube, but its still easier with 2 people so the other one can open/close the nipple.
