mighty vac brake bleed and oressure question

so i did a brake job recently and snapped one of my hardlines so had to bleed the brakes, i was by myself and had a heck of a time trying to bleed them right, so today i went out and bought the might vac brake bleeder kit,
so right now i'm just heading over to a buddies house to bleed my brakes properly, and a question just came to me, how do i use this thing and what pressure reading should i have on the dial? i don't have my copy of the manual or fsm with me so was just wondering if you guys knew what the books say?
i'm going to be on my phone so it'll be diffcult for me to respond, but easy for me to check the thread, sorry about this guys, i know i'm a jerk and this is a newb move but i leave for san fran tomorrow in the runner and got loads and loads todo before i get on the road, thanks a ton and promise to respond to the next 10 newb lift threads ?'s when i get back! sorry!

I don't have the MightyVac but do have the Motive. 12~15psi is what I have used (usually around 12) and that should work fine for you.

I'd do both front and rears beginning with the RR.

Glad I could help.

IMHO, the two most overlooked fluid changes are brake and power steering. I can tell a difference each time I change both.
