On the master cylinder there will be two bleeder screws that point towards the passenger side. Bleed them like you are bleeding your brakes. Crack open the bleeder while someone is pushing on the brake pedal. Do this till there are no bubbles. Do this on both. After that re-bleed the brakes. I suggest getting a rubber hose to put on the end of the bleeder and a bottle to catch the brake fluid.
