Bleeding the brakes is fairly simple. I recommend that you use a pressure bleeder to push new fluid through the lines and then follow it up with the two person method where one person pumps the brakes and holds pressure while the other person opens the bleeder valve. You'll find a number if DIYs on the topic. Just remember to empty the old fluid from the reservoir with a turkey baster before pouring in the new fluid, keep the reservoir full at all times, start with the right rear, move to the left rear, then right front and finally left front. Turn the engine on if/when doing the two person method. It helps to tap the calipers with a rubber mallet when using the pressure bleeder to help the air escape the calipers.
