Cars with anti-lock brakes may require a slightly different procedure on the rear brakes. Because the system is pressurized, have your assistant turn the car on, press on the brake pedal, turn off the ignition and then just rest his/her foot on the pedal. Open the bleeder valve and let the fluid stream out for about ten seconds or so. Close the valve and add some more fluid at the master cylinder. On some systems, the assistant may have to keep pushing down on the pedal to let the old fluid out.
After you're done, have your assistant step on the brakes two to three dozen times to exhaust the high-pressure reservoir on ABS systems. This will make the brake fluid level rise in the master cylinder. When it stops rising, you're done. To get rid of the brake warning light that'll be on at this point, step on the brakes hard. You don't need to do this every time your vehicle has a brake job, but every third time is a good idea (if you keep the vehicle that long).
