there should be a bleeder on each caliper it takes two people for this part ive been told that on newer cars it needs to be turned on remove the reservoir cap on the master cylinder have your partner push the brakes three times and on the third push you use an offset wrench to open the bleeder while the other person is still holding the brake pedal down they should feel it get tight and then go down some. reepeat this several times to make sure all air is out of the line by the way i also like to if the fluid is dark run that out till it becomes clear the dark fluid is old and can become a problem.
