I did this on my 2000 BMW M roadster, 2002 Z06 and 1992 Coupe.
1. Install speed bleeders in each caliper.
2. Suck out old brake fluid from master cylinder with turkey baster.
3. Fill master with new brake fluid.
4. Open speed bleeder at pass. rear. Put a clear tube over the bleeder
with the end going into a container.
5. Pump the brake pedal until clean fluid enters the clear line on
the caliper.
6. Close the bleeder. Then do the drivers rear, the pass. front and
the drivers front.
7. DO NOT LET THE MASTER CYLINDER RUN OUT OF FLUID OR YOU
WILL NEED TO START OVER TO GET THE AIR OUT. You should be
able to pump the pedal at least 10 times before checking the
master cylinder fluid level.
The whole process took about 15 minutes once the speed bleeders were installed.

I bought some clear hose to fit over the bleeder ends so fluid didn't go everywhere

I purchased a set of the speed bleeders in the fall and have yet to install them. plan to install this spring and with these instructions job should be easy.

I've been using speed bleeders for a few years now, and I love them. Bleeding brakes at the tack takes less than 20 minutes by myself. First I suck out all of the old fluid with a turkey baster, then refill. I connect the hose to the bleeder and the clear bag that comes with the bleeders, open up the cap, pump the pedal 5 times, close the bleeder, top off the fluid, and move on to the next wheel. I use a dot 4 fluid, although a lot of track guys use motul 600.
