Same as you'd bleed a Hayes Mag. You need a bleed kit with a special fixture on the end of the hose that fits into the lever. Those attachments are different from Hayes HFX and Mag, and maybe even change from year to year.

You'll def find a better step by step process elsewhere, like the Hayes site or the Park site.

But, you need the bleed kit first, and DOT 4 fluid. It's messy and corrosive, so don't get it on your hands. Or the rotor or pads.

1. get the proper bleed kit
2. follow these instructions
3. prepare to fail
4. keep trying
5. succeed
6. ride and repeat as neccesary
