Start with the longest brake line first and work your way to the shortest line.

Brake the bleed valve loose, place a vac hose on the bleeder and the other end in a jar of brake fluid. Not full just enough fluid so the hose is under. Open the bleeder a couple turns. Make sure the MC is full. Semi slowly pump the peddle 5 - 10 times. Close the bleeder and fill the MC and go onto the next. If you let the MC go dry you will need to start over.
