Only thing I'd add to Brokejeep's procedure is to start with the wheel that's farthest from the master cylinder. The chiltions or haynes may state this.
You might look into getting one of the "hand Pump" vacuum bleeder systems. They make bleeding the lines so much easier. Basically, You simply attach the hand vac pump via the supplied tubing and suck the new fresh fluid from the reservoir, down thru the lines, to the container on the hand pump. The end of the line is submerged in fluid, and the vac is supplied up at the top, so there very little chance of getting any air back into the brake system. You pull fluid till no more air bubbles are seen in the container.
There a little more to it than that, but basically " That's it in a nutshell"
On second thought, you should learn how to bleed the brakes the hard way first.
then graduate up to the easy way.
