bleeding brakes

how hard is it on a 1985 (not sure sube model) i kno it has front disc's and rear drums.
i was driving down the road and discovered the brake was realllllly sofft sooo after i got to school i looked an there was noooo fluid left in the resivoir so i knew i had to take it home i couldnt leave it at school so i got back and now i am leaving it sit. it has more than likely sucked in soooo much air.
so i just wanted to kno how i would go about bleeding it and how hard it would be?

thanx

it's a 2 person job, but couldnt be easier. get at least 3 small bottles of brake fluid and an 8mm wrench.

shouldnt be too hard but it depends on how u do it, power bleeding would be the easiest but, im guessing youll have to mannually bleed the brakes(just search around to find the proceedure im too lazy to type it up its kinda long ) but befor you do that theres probly a leak in the system and you need to find that before you bleed them or it wont last long it can be sevral things check the master clyinder, flex hoses, clipers and wheel cylinders, and all teh hard line connections for leaks. and replace accordingly. good luck btw my master clyinder has a slow leak so im going to have to go thru the same thing bleeding and all but at my shop class we have a power bleeder so it makes it easier
