You start with the wheel that is farthest from the master cylinder and work your way in.

the least frustrating way to do it is to fill a small container with some brake fluid then fit a line over the bleeder valve that is submerged into the container. keep pumping the brakes until you don't see any more air bubbles. It is best to use a clear hose. Less headaches, believe me.

Until you see new, clear fluid coming out. At least 15 pumps.
