Get a manual from your shop. The bike should have come with one. The first time takes a while as you learn the steps. And you might end up with air in the line the first time or two but once you get it dialed its pretty easy. Essentialy you just push the fluid through the system from the caliper to the master cylinder(lever) end.

Try the Hayes website for a manual on pdf or something.
