you will only need to bleed the brakes if you have disconnected the brake line.
if so you will need two people to complete the bleeding.
one person will pump brakes till it is firm, then HOLD the brake down.
another person will go and discharge the brake fluid where there is a 10mm extention on the caliper. and repeat till brakes are to par.

NOTE bleeding should not be done by amateurs, you risk brake malfunction resulting in loss of your brakes.
