1- Have someone get in the car and pump up the brakes, 5-10 GOOD pumps. Have them HOLD the pedal in.
2- Crack open the brake fluid bleeder and out comes Air/Fluid.
3- Tighten the bleeder back down, Repeat one more time. (you may have to add fluid while bleeding)

Do this at every wheel, Add new fluid when you're done.

This is correct, just make sure that you tighten the bleeder back down after you get a steady flow of brake fluid and there is absolutely no air left in the line.
