Default Gravity bleeding brakes

Hey I just did a search and came up with a bunch of info, i just wanna make sure i got it right. Ok so open up the resevior, suck out the fluid in there with a turkey baster.

Then add new brake fluid to the resevoir, and proceed to open the bleeder valves one by one, starting in the rear passenger, then rear driver, front passenger, front driver, and let the dirty fluid drain till I see clean fluid. Is this correct? or is there something im missing that will let air into the syetem?

That's pretty much it. As long as you keep the reservoir full, no air should get into the system.

Gravity bleeding takes a little longer, but it works just as well.
