[Closed] Shimano Brake Bleed (Sorry)

This must have been done to death, but I can't find anything on the search so here we go...

I need to bleed my new style (M985?) XT brakes, so can anyone provide me with a link to some decent instructions? They must be around somewhere.
I know it's pretty simple, I'm just not sure of the textbook procedure with the little bleed funnel and stuff.

Cheers.

Google Shimanotechdocs, they have the complete instructions that come with the brakes.

Cheers.

NEXT QUESTION. Again, I'm sure this has been done lots of times, but I'll ask again;

To what extent will I die if I use Citroen LHM mineral oil instead of massively expensive Shimano mineral oil?

You will only partially die, but your bank manager will thank you.
