      There is a bleeder valve on the caliper. Have someone pump the breaks 3 -4 times then hold down on the brake pedal. Then you crack the bleeder valve using a small wrench. Brake fluid and any air in the lines will escape out the valve. Have the person tell you when the brake pedal touches the floor. You would then close the bleeder valve. They pump the brakes again and your crack open the bleeder valve. Keep repeating this process until you get only fluid and no air and until the brake pedal feels firm. Keep an eye on the brake fluid in the reservoir . Do not let it go empty while you go through the bleeding process.

        I do not know your car but all cars should bleed the same way. You have to bleed both calipers but you bleed them one at a time.
