Fill brake fluid reservoir, hold down pedal and have an assistant open bleeder, close bleeder when fluid /air escapes and lift pedal, wait a few sec and push pedal down and open bleeder, continue until no air is seen, keep reservoir topped up and do all wheels the same way, if alone, use plastic tube and place over bleeder, place in glass jar with some brake fluid already in it, slowly pump pedal this will expel fluid and air and with the tube in the fluid it will not draw back air, close bleeder and do all wheels the same, and keep fluid level topped up all the time in the reservoir.
