Best method for bleeding that I've found: loosen the hydraulic line connection on each strut and allow air to exit here, which is the highest point in the system at the rear of the car. The rest of the circuit is self bleeding - fluid at pressure runs in a continuous loop between reservoir, pump, and control valve. The mentioned valve looks like a bleeder, but is meant for bleeding off the pressure in the rear half of the system prior to working on it.
