A few different ways to do it...the most straightforward way (starting at the wheel furthest from the ABS module and then working up towards it):
Master cylinder must be topped off with fluid the entire time, don't forget.
Have someone get in the car. Pump up & then hold the brake pedal.
You crack the bleeder, let fluid/air run out. Close bleeder, then he releases brakes.
Pump up brakes again, hold. You crack bleeder. Fluid/air comes out. Close bleeder, release brakes. Do this over and over again til just fluid comes out, no air.

It's actually recommended that you DON'T pump the brakes - just push the pedal down once and hold. Pumping will further aerate the fluid.
