ABS doesn't change how you bleed the brakes. Simplest way for one person to do it is this. Get a piece of tubing that will fit over the bleeder screw. Loosen the screw and put the tubing over the bleeder and the other end in a container with enough brake fluid in it to cover the end of the hose. Pump the brake pedal slowly several times and shut the bleeder screw. Start at the rear passenger, rear driver, front passenger, ending with the front drivers. You may only need to do the wheel you have worked on, but if not, you always start at the one furthest from the master cylinder. Always check the master and keep the fluid level above half while pumping the brakes.
