you need to attach a hose to the bleed valve(for each brake), then you open one valve, squeeze the brake lever, close the valve and then release the lever. You have to continue opening, squeezing and closing, until only oil comes out of the bleed valve. Good luck, hope that helped.

Squeeze and hold the lever, open valve, close valve, release lever. Repeat till no more bubbles come out and the lever is firm.

What JOEX said. Or I bought a cheap brake power bleeder from an auto parts store. I think they go for around $20. It worked well and I didn't have to pump for hours. They can be stubborn if done by hand. Afterwards I pumped the brakes 5-6 times and held them while putting a zip tie around them. This should cause any remaining air bubbles to rise to the top overnight. Hope this helps.
