Start from the farthest bleeder away from the master cylander. Which is going to be your rear passenger side drum. Then the driver side, followed by the passenger side front and finishing up on the driver side front. You can use the old school method with a hose and a catch container and a buddy. Or Now a days they have one man bleeder screws which a portion valve that only allows fluid out and nothing in, or there is also whole bleeding kits. Which ever one you go with will all work. Just go in that sequence.

start at your passanger side rear wheel open the bleeder have someone pump the brakes until fluid and no air come out when it does get them to hold the pedal to the floor and tighten the bleeder screw then do the same for the driver side rear then the passanger front then the drivers front if the pedal still feels a little low go around once more making sure after every wheel to refill the resivior for the brake fluid. once your finished your pedal will feel a little spongy for a couple of days but will get better
