Hello, You always start with the line that is furtherest from the master cylinder which is usually the passenger side back. then the driver side back, passenger side front,driver side front. It usually don't take much for the back just bleed each one two or three times each. Depending on which one you replaced on the front you need to bleed it until there is no air spitting out. You need two people to do this. One to pump the brake and hold it down. while the other bleeds the brakes. BE SURE TO KEEP A CHECK ON THE FLUID!!
Replace the brake line, bleed the brake. top up with brake fluid. Done.
Check for a pinched brake line. If the line has been pinched and you use the brakes, the pinched line will hold pressure and not release the brake fluid like it should. That will cause the brake to overheat (it's like driving with the brake on) and freeze up.
depends where the leak is. In the brake line or at the pump? electric or mech brakes? if its in the line you should be able to replace the line section
