Well you are gonna need another friend to help you with this, First jack up the car, You are gonna need a few cantainers of 3 Dot brake fluid, Then on the front front brake calipers, There is a little bleeder screw, Use a 10mm socket on a ratchet, Make sure its set to counter clock wise selector, If not u will snap the bleeder screw, Once u loosen the screw, Tighten it back up, get a buddy to pump the brake pedel, with the bleeder screw tighten, Then after the brakes pump 3 times, get youre buddy to hold them to the floor, Then u undo the bleeder screw, U should see the brake fluid pouring out, Youre buddy should feel the pressure of the pedel going to the floor, 3 times bleeding each tire will do for the system to get the air out of youre brake system. Also just make sure u keep an eye on the level of the brake fluid, If it gets to low u will have to re bleed the system again.

Good Luck.
