The one thing i would add to the factory up/down instructions would be the most importand thing when doing a bleed IMHO, the last close of the screw.

I always suggest that the screw be closed while the asisstant pumps the pedal a couple times and then puts pressure on it. The wrench jockey then quickly opens and closes the screw stoping the pedal in the neighborhood of 1/2 way down.

I get consistantly good bleeds when done this way.
