i would recomend take your time and do a gravity bleed its very simple loosen the bleed valve one the calipur starting first with the back pasanger side first just loosen it up also take the fill cap off of the master cylinder are it will not work  and make shure you keep filing it back up you can do all four wheels at one time but make dhure you pay attention  it just bleed mine out and changed the brake pads and the old brake fluid was green

I got it fixed!  I did just that, bled the system by simply filling the reservoir and pumping by foot.  I will put my power bleeder to pasture now.
