yes, it helps. I watched this video to sort of guide me through the process:

How To Replace Your Brake Fluid - EricTheCarGuy - YouTube

So, I apparently just need to get my new fluid, a bottle/container and some tubing to connect the bleed screws to the container. Any idea what size/mm wrench I need to open & close the bleed screws?

This is a VERY nice and DETAILED video of how to do it. Usually it's a 10mm. But who has just ONE wrench? LOL Buy a set

One thing I would change is this -- I would cover the Master Cylinder during the event of pressing the brake pedal and when messing with bleeder valve.

I wouldn't leave it wide open -- would help prevent contamination. I was taught to never leave it uncovered for too long.

They also sell vacuums to suck out the fluid as well -- Might want to consider that. However pressing the brake pedal is still good!

One more question: how much stock do you guys put in following a specific order in bleeding the wheels/brakes? I know the guy in the video lists his specific order and while it would be easy to follow for the guys who have 4 jack stands, for those who only keep 2 around, it would be a little more time consuming.

What do you mean by stock?

how necessary is it to follow that exact order is what he was implying with that.

Oh I see. Thanks.

Exactly. My guess is that it doesn't matter what order you do the brakes, as long as you bleed all 4 brakes. However, I am definitely not an automotive expert, which is why I wanted someone to reassure me on my assumption.

It doesn't matter which wheel you start with and which wheel you end with. That is the first time I've heard of someone stating that there was an order.
