I use a pressure bleeder set to about 20 to 25psi. It's no different than any other car. Hook up the pressure bleeder and then go from right rear to left rear to right front to left front bleeding each wheel until clear fluid and no bubbles are evident.

I agree with Len, the pressure bleeder is the way to go. Check them out on Ebay or buy one which has a cap to fit the 560SL.

bleeding brakes
make sure you fill the resevoir all the way, rear part is hard to see and you need to pour the brake fluid in slowly so the rear resevoir fills
