The brakes on our cars are diagonally split. Therefore you need to bleed both sides. To do this have someone sit in the car and pump the brake pedal up and then hold it. Then take HITHERE line wrench (and ONLY HITHERE line wrench) and loosen the line from the brake cylinder and watch the fluid squirt out. then retighten and tell you helper in the car to pump them back up. Do this 3 times on both sides.

50 times huh!! Well there is obviously air in the line. Do it until brake fluid comes out. Make sure the brake fluid is full.
