Is this any good to you?
2) The Proper Way!
This method is carried out with the car in the LOW position in order that all LHM is returned to the tank.

Method:

Car in High position, engine running. Loosen wheel bolts, jack up car and support securely on Axle stands. Wheels off. Height lever to Low position, then open 12mm bleed on pressure reg 1/2 turn. Allow system to depressurise. Engine off
Remove tank, drain LHM and clean filters as above. Refit tank and add 4 lites of LHM+.
Remove rubber pipe that runs from HP pump to top of reservoir at the tank end, unclip and, holding pipe upright, use a funnel to pour LHM down the pipe to prime the Pump. Height lever in high, spin car quickly over a couple of times whilst pouring LHM down pipe. Refit pipe at tank end. Start car, lever in high then open and close bleed on pressure reg block 1/4 turn for about 10 times. Close valve. Arms should start to drop as the car comes up. Add LHM to tank as required.
Get an assistant to sit in car (running in high) with their foot on the brake, and open bleed nipple on each caliper to allow clean LHM to flow through (NB excercise extreme caution with nipples on rear calipers, they shear off very easily - you have been warned).Ensure all bleeds are done up.Tell your assistant to go make the tea.Refit wheel, nuts etc, and get car off axle stands.
As in Method 1, move height lever from High to Low a few times, then back to Normal to fully bleed the system.
