ok...hopefully I can explain this..

have a friend help you...

Pump the break pedal 3 times and hold down(don't let go) open the bleeder(the pedal will go down more). Close the bleeder.

Now pump 3 times again.(hold down)^^^^^^^^

repeat this step for awhile..until the pedal gets harder and make sure you keep the fluid full when doing this.

I have one of those brake bleeding tools from Motion Pro and they really help with cutting down the time it takes to bleed them. I've also seen a bleeding tool that sucks the fluid through like a vacum and that thing will make it a sub 5 miniute job. bluez440 said it best for doing it with out the tools I described.

You can pick up a brake bleeding kit from an auto parts store. They work very well and they are much faster than doing it manually. I believe it is called a mitivac brake bleeder kit.

i was manually doing it for almost a half hour and still nothing. how much does the kit cost???

I think I only paid around $20-$25 for the bleeder kit. They have one that is metal but it's a little more money. Mine is made of plastic. It works great though. It is also nice for sucking the old fluid out of the brake reservoir before bleeding. It has a few other uses too but I can't remember what they are.I got mine at autozone but I'm sure napa and others will carry it.

Tell you the old fashion way...put a 1/4" hose on you bleeder open it up and suck it through the line. Stock line are tougher than S.S. but I did my fronts in about 5 minutes.
Oh and yeah brake fluid tastes like crap.

Break the seal on the rezzy and leave the cap on. Fill rezzy up also. Wedge a hammer between the brake pedal and frame pushing down on pedal. Come back in 12hrs and you will have 100% of your rear brake working. Tighten up rezzy cap. Your done..
