It is a relatively simple process if the bleed nipple will unscrew but they often seize and can easily snap off.
The process is covered in most repair manuals and do-it-yourself, home mechanic type publications.
There are one-man brake bleeding tools available but the traditional method is to have an assistant to pump the brake pedal and keep the reservoir topped up while the operator has slackened the bleed nipple a turn or two, attached a length of good-fitting rubber hose to the bleed nipple and while the free end is dangling in a clean jar containing some fluid watches for the air bubbles to cease and shouts instructions to the assistant; typically five firm but steady strokes of the pedal and then top up the brake reservoir and then five more if needed. When the bubbles cease the call is for the assistant to hold it down next time when the operator will close and tighten the bleeder.
Testimonial: "u don't pump abs brakes to bleed them."
