Ron, and Tigers,

Ron is correct.  When all else fails,  RTFM (Read the XXXXing Manual)

TigersUnited.com has a great deal of valuable information on it, and the 
entire Workshop Manual is just a small tip of the iceberg.

Section K (Brakes)

*/"1. Pump the old fluid from the hydraulic system by slackening off the 
bleed screw furthest from the master cylinder 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn and 
when the fluid changes to
    air re tighten the bleed screw. Proceed with the next furthest and 
finish at the bleed screw nearest the master cylinder in a similar 
manner. Discard all the old fluid."/
