turn ignition on and bleed fronts as normal ie pressing up/down a few times and then holding down open nipple and see the fluid flow out without any bubbles the rears will bleed by opening the nipples one at a time on the caliper and pressure from pump will push fluid along with any air out just make sure reservoir's topped up.
