I have new calipers, pads and rotors for the rear of my 2010 GS 350.
I feel I can do this, but at the end of a bunch of videos it just says to bleed the brakes but I can't find any consistent info and am now scared to start this project.
Do I need special tools or just some plastic tubing and another person?
Does anyone have a good video or tutorial? I need some people with pumps and other videos with just a computer. One person said to take the reservoir cap off and put a brick on the pedal overnight.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

5/16 wrench for rear
10mm wrench for front
Laptop with techstream 12.00.019 and mini vci cable
Bottle and tubing and keep it above the bleeder screw
Bleed it normally then with techstream, should be good. The master cylinder could need to be bled but I don't know how to do what you have to disconnect lines going to it just don't mess with that

I don't have a techstream. Just replaced my rear calipers and rotors and pads.
I thought I bled the brakes right with a DIY method with just a bottle and myself, I didn't see any more air and tightened up the bleeder screw.
I just did this for the rear brakes. Do I have to do all four even though I only changed the rear?
