It can give you all the details. In summary though: you can pressure bleed the front brakes as usual, but you can use the ABS pump to bleed the rear calipers. You just have to have the ignition on, and get someone to step on the brake pedal while you open the bleeder. You must take care to not let the reservoir get empty in the process, and also don't let the ABS pump run for more than 30 or 45 seconds at a time to avoid overheating the pump. But get a Bentley manual. John
