How to bleed brakes?

OK, I just installed a line lock kit and need to bleed my brakes. I also bought a mighty vac to make it easier. Where are the bleeder screw? How do I open them? What is the whole process? Thanks for the help.

There are two bleeders on the ABS unit under the hood.They are a 7mm,and look like a small nipple.Have someone pump the brake pedal a few times,then hold pressure on the pedal while you open one bleeder at a time.Dont release the brake until you close the bleeder.Now do the same to the calipers.These are a 10mm.(use flare nut wrenches )Do the passenger rear first then drivers rear,pass. front then drivers front.You may haveto repeat the process a couple times.You should also be very thankful that I typed all this out for you.

A tip that I found handi is use a Lawnmower fuel line hose(sold at most car stores) and a empty gatorade bottle, its basically a clear line and clear bottle so you can see any bubbles. But pretty much what he said, and don't be afraid to do it several times.
