The most common way to bleed brakes yourself is as follows. Get someone to help you.
Make sure master cylinder is full of brake fluid, make sure all bleeder screws are closed, have a friend push the brake pedal about 5 times to build pressure and get them to hold the pedal down. While they hold the pedal down, you open bleeder screw and fluid should squirt out. close bleeder before your buddy lets off the pedal or else air will suck back in lines. repeat until a solid stream of fluid is present. you shouldn't hear or see any air bubbles coming out. if you do, continue until air gone.
