Usually you just need to bleed it until you are getting straight fluid. This would depend on the amount of break work you did and how much air is in the system. I would recommend at least 10 times though.

Simple, even with a vehicle that has air ove hydraulic brakes its the same. First opn the bleeder screw farfthest from the brake resevoir. Then next farthest and so on. All bleeders ar located on the top of the caliper. Then remove the resevoir lid. Fill resevoir. Let drain from bleeders for 10 miuntes and until all bubbles are gone.

If you are referring to the brakes, there are several ways to do it. The easiest way is to loosen the caliper bleed screw, starting with the furthest caliper from the brake reservoir, and pumping the brake pedal until all air is removed. Make sure to keep the reservoir full.

It is bled the same as any other vehicle. However if you do it alone you should invest in a speed bleeding kit that allow you to do a reverse bleed. This is where you pump clean fluid up from the calipers to the master cylinder avoiding bubbles.

Use 4 filled cups, open each brake valve attach tubes to each valve with tubes in cups fill reservoir, pump brake pedal until fluid stops bubbling in cups, tighten valves.

You will need to people. Have on person pump breaks. Go to each side with a 12mm wrench and while they are holding down break, unloosen and tighten bleeder screw.
