The link above is great , but just to show you how easy it is...
Lay down behind the rear wheels and feel around on the caliper for the port. Pop off the rubber dust cap with your fingers and slide the correct millimeter wrench on it. Have someone to pump up the brakes for you and yell for them to hold them. Turn the fitting and the brakes will go to the floor, tell them to hold them there until you tighten the fitting. Its really the same as the front.
Just a note to you though,,, You know there is an order you are supposed to bleed in right?
Your supposed to bleed the farthest away from the MS first and work your way closer. Ive done it either way and it is not a big deal if you dont follow that pattern , but just letting you know the correct way.
