theres different ways people do it.. I usually jack up the front, and turn the wheel lock to lock until there are no more bubbles coming out of the pump.. keep an eye on the reservoir & make sure you keep it filled while you do this though.. some say do it with the car off, some say it doesnt matter.. i do it with the car on and havent had any issues..
