Well, not much more.
You either need a speedbleeder or 2 people.

The 2 people method is this
1st guy has a wrench in hand on the bleeder with bleeder closed
2nd guy pumps brakes until hard then keeps foot on pedal
1st guy open bleeder and brake fluid sprays out (good idea to have a 1/8 inch clear tube over bleeder leading to a clear container)
2nd guy hollers when brake pedal gets close to floor
1st guy closes bleeder when hears hollering
1st guy hollers ready when bleeder is closed
2nd guy pumps brakes again until hard then keeps foot on pedal

and - repeat until clear brake fluid comes out on all corners. Make sure to keep fluid in reservior - if you drain it you introduce even more air into the system.
Also - always start with the brake that is furthest away from the reservoir and move in.

Never done the speedbleeder method maybe someone else will chime in on that.
