well, whatever. i drive a '90 900 base too. bleeding is very easy. (do you have a Bentley manual? it explains the differences in bleeding w/ ABS) first. for the last week you should have been lubing the bleeder screws on the top of the calipers with penetrating oil. this will reduce the tendency for them to snap right off. (when one breaks, search this BB for my many posts on broken bleeder screws - cuz i broke one and it sucked) i replaced all of my bleeders with "ez bleeders". they have a bearing inside that doesn't allow air back in when pumping the brake - so it becomes a one person job. they're made of brass and some say they will rust badly in the salt belt but we'll see.
do the right front first. open the screw, have someone pump the brake a few times and hold it down. close screw.
left front. same thing. (i didn't use my kit to pressurize the resevoir, because this was just as easy. i did use it to bleed my clutch - which is suggested to be done when bleeding - or maybe just when flushing fluid, i forget)
i think right rear? my bentley is in the car and i can't recall which rear i did first. anyway, for the rear use the ABS pump to bleed. turn the key so the dash illuminates and you can hear the pump start. loosen screw. pump brake, hold down, tighten screw. same for the other. make sure to watch the level of the brake fluid and fill as necessary. don't let the res. run dry. sorry, i'm a little hazy on the ABS assist part. don't let the ABS pump run for more than two minutes as it may overheat. do one rear. then let it cool for ten minutes (ignition off) and do the other.
good luck. i hope this helps.
