How to Bleed the brakes?

I know this question makes me look like a tool, but the other day, during my first ride, I came to find that my reservoir was empty and now I have no front brakes.

How do I properly bleed the brakes?

Thanks!

Furthest from the res. first, so line to the rear diff, then passenger, then driver. Make sure you watch the res and keep it full.

I don't know how basic you want but have someone pump the brakes and hold the pedal down. Open bleeder and let air out. Close bleeder. Let off pedal and pump again repeat process on all brakes. And don't let master cylinder go empty

To properly bleed the brakes, start with a couple of 8-ounce cans of fresh brake fluid. An unopened can has a long shelf life. An opened can should be discarded within a few weeks. Get the vehicle up in the air and remove all four wheels. Well, okay, you might be able to do this with the wheels on if you can swing a wrench on the bleeder valves.
So, your next task is to make sure the bleeder valves can be loosened. You'll need a box wrench that fits the bleeder bolt. A crescent wrench or Vise-Grip probably will just round off the bolt's flats. A little penetrating oil drizzled on the bolts the day before will help. So will some judicious tapping with a hammer to break up any corrosion. Loosen the bolts, but leave them closed.
