I was wondering what the proper way to bleed the brakes was. I was in a minor accident ( not my fault) and when I pressed my brakes, the line to my passenger rear line busted. I am in the process of replacing the line right now but was curious if I need to bleed the system at the master cylinder and at each wheel or what?

Depends on how long... did the master empty out? If so you will need to bleed at the master, then the abs unit, then the service brakes, but some ABS units require a scan tool to command bleeding of the unit.. This car has diagonal braking system. rr and lf work paired off the master and lr rf work off the other port.
