Bleed the brakes in this order until new, clean fluid appears...RR, LR, rear proportioning valve, RF, LF. Don't let the reservoir go empty and suck air into the system. Test the brakes, If the pedal is spongy, bleed again to remove any air bubbles you missed.

Good stuff, thanks...I'll be using a one man bleeder so I could imagine this being somewhat time consuming. The idea of swapping for blue fluid is a great idea!

Thanks again
