Picked up my brake master cylinder back from full rebuild so i just want to go through this bleeding thing
Connect the master cylinder back up to pipes and pedal
Fill with Brake Fluid
Jack up the righ hand side of the car and attach plastic pipe to the bleed screws on the back and front wheels RH first unscrew the bleed screw put the other end of the tube into a glass jar with brake fluid in
get friend to push the pedal full strokes untill no more air bubbles can be seen
keep fluid full half way
push pedal all the way to the floor then do up screws then next side
Right or wrong
Its a dual circuit brake master cylinder

Put the car back together take it too your local brake specialist, get them to bleed it, the best $20-$30 you will ever spend, no aggression, no lying on the floor, no spilled brake fluid.

i find the best way is:

no need to jack car up
do all nipples up
fill reservoir with fluid
get someone to continually pump the pedal, about once every second
you get under car
open one nipple slightly
watch it spurt out and get the timing
close at half the spurt

turn wheels max to get to front nipples
do up with little spanner
very messy put rag under and dont wear long sleaves/watch
remember to adjust the brakes after, non adjusted brakes wont eat and you'll blame the nipple bleeding

it looks like your way will be definitely much cleaner than the one ive described
you can even do that yourself as well
i say it will work.
