Default Need to bleed brakes, help

have a 91 si hatch, replaced rotors and by accident let some air into the lines. Please let me know the steps i need to take to carry out this task... Rather do this myself then bring it somewhere because I have little money and there is so much air in the lines the pedal goes to the floor!!!

please help me out.

1. Get a friend to pump the pedal for you.
2. Start in the passenger side rear. Bleed it until there is fresh fluid coming out (if you're going to bleed, at least put fresh fluid throughout the system).
3. Driver's side front next.
4. Driver's side rear next.
5. Passenger's side front last.
6. Just have your friend pump the pedal until new fluid is coming out and there are now air bubbles.

Just another question, how in the world did air get into the system when replacing your rotors? Did you open the system for the fun of it?

make sure not to take the pedal to the floor when pumping. push it down .5 to .75 down to the floor. i did my clutch today and i even had to fish out some nasty carbon like substance...i have no idea how that got in there. good luck and take your time doing it.
