It's best to do this with someone pumping and holding the brake pedal while you open the bleeders (starting with the passenger side rear cylinder). To do it by yourself is a PITA! One trick that can help is get an extra brake reservoir cap, and a valve stem from a mag wheel (the kind with threaded stem and jam nuts) Drill a hole in top of cap and bolt valve thru hole. Fill reservoir up, and put cap on. Now, you can put pressure in system and start the bleeding process. You will have to keep filling reservoir and putting more pressure back in of course. This may get you closer to firm brakes. Go easy on the air pressure though. Hope this helps.
