May sound like a dumb question but I'm new to this, how much should I bleed each brake? Each caliper has a bleeder.

Get about 5 to 7 table spoons out of each port.

Start at the caliper furthest from the master cylinder and work in one caliper at a time. Have someone pump the brakes three times and hold the pedal down. Then open the bleeder valve and close it before the flow stops. Do this until there's no bubbles coming out, keeping an eye on the level in the reservoir. If that doesn't fix it there could be a bubble in the ABS module, which you can't bleed by bleeding the brakes. It has to be serviced by a professional.
