Bleeding brake lines

Is there a write up on how to bleed brake a 2006 rangefinder, v6, 2ed?

I don't remember a write up off the top of my head, but the procedure is listed in the brakes section of the factory service manual. You can download a free copy here:

You might also be able to find the procedure in the free repair guides at Autozone.com

From the service manual.

Bleeding Brake System
CAUTION:
While bleeding, monitor the master cylinder brake fluid level.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect battery negative cable.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to the rear right bleed valve.
3. Fully depress brake pedal 4 to 5 times.
4. With brake pedal depressed, loosen bleed valve to let the air out, and then tighten it immediately.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until no more air comes out.
6. Tighten bleed valve to the specified torque. Refer to BR-24, "Components" (front disc brake), BR-31, "Components" (rear disc brake).
7. Perform steps 2 to 6 at each wheel, with master cylinder reservoir tank filled at least half way, bleed air from the front left, rear left, and front right bleed valve, in that order.

You can get a bleed kit from most car parts shops.

Thanks

couple of questions:

is the vinyl tube 5/16"?

I assume, the master cylinder cover needs to be on while pumping brake pedal...I know..dumb question, but my first attempt at this.

Thanks

Leave the cover on the master cylinder. The hose has to fit the brake bleeder nipple.

when I said master cylinder, I meant the resevoir
