Anyone bleed their own brakes on their Emira?

[Blackthought_]

Never bled my own brakes before but been watching around YouTube and looks to be pretty easy with the help of a motiv brake bleeder. If I decide to go to a track day I may just try to flush the OEM fluid and replace with motul or SRF. Anyone bleed their own brakes on their Emira? I know the process is the same for many cars but a DIY post would be helpful.

DIY: Manual Clutch Slave & Brake Fluid Replacement/Bleeding

I didn't see a guide on replacing/bleeding the Brake/clutch fluid so, I've put one together. This information is purely my experience and serves only for your entertainment. I will not be liable or held responsible in what you do with this information. Please proceed at your own risk. Tools...

The process is the same as most other cars. Get a pressure bleeder with the specific cap that mounts to our reservoir. To get to the reservoir, you have to remove the bolts holding the front hood down, then remove the plastic shield that covers the reservoir on the left-hand side. I usually pump to 20-25 PSI to ensure fluid will move. Start with the wheel furthest away from the reservoir and work your way to the front.

Lastly, make sure you bleed both bleed screws, not just the outside one on each caliper. I personally like all the wheels off for easy access.

Doesn't mention what volume of fluid is required. FYI i did it recently and used about 650ml

Wait, there are 2 bleed screws on each caliper? I didn't even notice another screw after I bled the brakes.
