You don't just bleed the front brakes, you do the whole system. Starting with the right rear, you suck all of the fluid out, then the left rear, then the right front and finally the left front.

Dont forget the ABS unit.

I've never found it necessary to bleed the ABS unit...at least not yet anyway. I've always been able to maintain a very firm brake pedal.
