try opening up the bleeders. fill the res up, leave the cap off, and let gravity do the work. it helps if you put a small rubber hose on the bleeder and put the other end in a can. after you stop getting air out, it won't take much to finish bleeding them.

good luck

You could use a bleed kit, you can get them from any automotive store I think. I just use some rubber tubing and sucked on it. Ha Ha, sounds pretty bad I know, but it worked. I tried bleeding it without that and it probably would've taken about 2 hours to do, but I wised up and tried what I said and it worked great.
