No, don't close the screw, just leave it open 1/4 turn and slowly pump
the pedal until you see the liquid coming up the tube that you have
suspended beside the car. Once you see there are no bubbles coming up
through the liquid stop pumping and close the screw. You don't have to
worry about your foot being on the pedal when you close the screw as the
pressure from the head of liquid in the tube stops the air being drawn
in. You will get a little seepage of liquid out of the bleeder screw
thread during the process, but not much.
