I found it easier to take the wheel off to get to the brake bleed nipple.
Attach one end of the tube to the brake nipple
Attach the other end to the lid of the bottle
Loosen the brake bleeder nipple
Pump on the brake pedal until the bottle fills up
Empty the contents of the bottle into another larger collection bottle
Screw bottle back onto the lid and repeat the brake pumping
The bleeder kit comes with a magnetic disc which attached to the lid. So you can attach the lid to a metallic surface. I think I put it on the brake disc.
Always check that there are no air bubbles in the tube. I didn't find any bubbles at all during the procedure using the SCA bleeder kit. Tighten the nipple after fresh fluid comes through.
Sometimes it is hard to tell when the fresh fluid comes through, especially if you can't suck out all the fluid in the reservoir. In this case, you might want to get 3 plastic vials like these

1st vial - fresh brake fluid
2nd vial - old brake fluid from first lot extracted
3rd vial - "extraction in progress" fluid to use as comparison between old and fresh fluid.
