take out the intercooler is prob the easyest once its of you,l get to the nipple easyer make sure you have something over it to catch the fluid obviously loosen it take the lid off the fluid refill and pump the pedal a few times hold it down do the nipple up whilst its still held down then see if it springs back up this could take a few goes and needs 2 people really

no problem m8 its really easy to bleed just remember to keep the fluid topped up pump it 3 times on the 3rd hold it down and make sure the nipple is done up at the same time,this may need to be repeated a few times,
