Alright so I finished up replacing the old rotors with new Brembo rotors and new pads, however my brakes feel very spongy when I press them down.. I have to depress the brake pedal at least 3 times before I feel the brakes work! I'm thinking that I need to bleed the brakes? I'm trying to figure out how to do that from the Do-It-Right Nissan 300zx manual but it doesn't particularly make sense? Some help guys? :gapteeth:

bleed starting with the rear passanger wheel>rear driver side wheel>front passanger side wheel>front driver side wheel. I assume you know how to actually bleed brakes.
