First, make sure the reservoir is filled. Then put pressure pull in the brake lever and released the bleed valve while the lever is in. DO NOT release the brake lever until the bleed valve is closed. Repeat until there are no more bubbles coming out of the bleeder nipple.

It helps if you have a clear tube which will fit over the bleeder, you can see the bubbles easier. Another handy tool is the Mity Vac it does all the work and you get perfect brakes every time.
