There is a 3/8 inch hollow screw (bleeder screw) on the back side of the wheel cylinder and also on the calipers on the front. You crack open this just enough and you can have someone depress the brake petal down to push the air out until fluid comes out. They also make vacuum devices that pull the fluid down which are much better and they also make pressure devices that attach to the master cylinder that pushes the fluid down into the lines.
Once all the air is out of the system you tighten down the bleed screw on the calibers. Be careful if you are using the pedal method that when before the foot comes up to pump the brakes that you tighten the bleeder screw as to not pull air back up through the system.
