Help on bleeding new power brake system

I've bled brake lines w/ original reg. brake systems, but having problems bleeding power brake. Do I keep pressing my brakes and open and close valve at each wheel or use a jar w/ brake fluid at each wheel brake line end( one at a time). Is there something different about bleeding power brakes

Bleeding the power brakes is the same as manual.

Make sure you bench bleed the master cylinder first. You'll never get the spongy feeling out of the brakes if you don't.

Re: Help on bleeding new power brake system

Thanks good buddy, I successfully bled my new power disc brake system. Master cylinder U turn bleed first then bled the rest of the system like an ol' school manual brake system. 100-200 total pumps for a new empty system though. took a while before I felt good pressure in the pedal THANKS
