Evo X brake bleeding

Hey, doing an Evo X brake upgrade to my 3000GT and I'm wondering if anyone can point me towards directions for brake bleeding? I've never seen calipers with 2 bleeders on them! TIA

My dealer said flushing the brembos are a pain. Took them over 3 hrs to flush the coolant and the brakes.

well, i guess you learned to never go to that dealership again!

seriously, tell me it was max madsen in downers grove. Those idiots are soo incompetent.

Max madsen in aurora was awesome (at least like 4 years ago they were, don't know anymore).

Lots of dealers have no clue. Way back when my friend brought his Talon turbo in for a timing belt recall, they installed the balance shaft upside down and basically ruined the car. When he complained about the vibrations over 4500 rpm they asked why he would want to rev it so high.

What pressure do you use? Instructions say 10 psi, but a guy at the track told me that 5 psi is plenty.

I also have a motive bleeder and pump that bish up to 15-20 psi. I mean I doubt I can put more pressure into the system then it actually has while in use. What would be the reason for using such low pressure?
