Hi-well first you want to fill the master cyld. than with the car jacked up  start from the left/rear than right/rear, than -left/front than last right/front
you will pump the breaks up apx. 5 times and hold the foot pedal down than when a friend loosens the brake bleeder it will squirt out the fluid, let the pedal go to the floor and keep it there than have friend tighten the bleeder up than do it again, when done check to fill master cyld.  do this all around as listed keep the fluid full. if you do not get a good pedal try it a second time but keep the fluid full and do not let the pedal go up as it  will get air into it.
