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!!

If the brakes are disc brakes then try opening the bleed screws on the calipers and see if the pressure releases if not then remove the calipers and replace because the piston is probably frozen or you can try pushing in the piston with a c-clamp,if that doesnt work replace the calipers as noted. If the brakes are drum brakes then check your brake cylinders to see if they are leaking if so you can usually rebuild them if not then replace them and bleed your brake system to get brakes back to normal, you can also make sure your drum brakes are adjusted correctly.
