Do yo have a brake bleeder pump? Easiest way to do it. Also a second person helps. Basically just like a car, pump brake lever, build up pressure, hold lever closed then release bleeder screw and let air out of caliper. Close bleeder screw before lever goes all the way down to prevent air from being sucked back in. Repeat until you have firm brake feel and not air bubbles in master cylinder.
DO NOT LET MASTER CYLINDER GO DRY or it will pump air into the system. Hope this helps.
