with the rear its easy enough to do gravity bleeding. I did it for mine..

open the valve. let the brake fluid pour until no more bubbles. (make sure resivoir stays full. :thumbs:

I have also done the gravity bleed and no problems, if they are spongy you should get someone to pump them up and hold pressure and crack the bleeder.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

It's the rear, you can do it by yourself. One hand on the pedal, one on the valve.  "pump 'em....hold 'em" Reminds me of being little and helping my dad change the brakes on their car. :lol:

They have at the auto parts store a vaccume pump thing that will pull the fluid and air out at the same time $30.00 dont forget the fluid is a high dot number like 5 or something the higher the number refers to quality
