Bleeding brakes on a E320?

I am doing brake pads this weekend which seem very easy. 2006 E320 CDI
They say not to bleed brakes at the same time you replace pads?
Anyone have a DIY on how to bleed brakes? Anything to disconnect etc.

Thanks

Looks like you can do it yourself but you will not replace all of the fluid, maybe 80%?

The ABS pump/system does not get flushed unless you take it to a dealer. I got around this on a 2004 Lancruiser by leaving the key on and having someone step on the brakes. The system came on and started pumping the fluid out the bleeder valve. Was the easiest flush I have ever done. Anyone try this?

Thanks
