So you bought the spindle-to-caliper-bracket adapter plate & hardware? Did you buy the UMI components? The 6LE components? A "FRRAX special"?
Installation instructions depend on the parts that you have. Bleeding brakes is most effectively done with two people... One person pumping the brakes and holding, and the other cracking open the bleeder valve. Putting a small piece of tubing from the bleeder valve and into a bottle w/brake fluid in the bottom is a little trick you can use to prevent air from getting sucked back into the system... In addition to the instructions you can find in regards to bleeding the brakes.

Haha I like step 6-7. Does the abs need to be bled or how to avoid getting any air into there? Guess put a banjo bolt with the washers on the caliper line right after I take off the old ones

Good recent thread on bleeding the ABS system:

How-to starts at post 33.
Before that, just bleed the brakes as normal with the two-man method.

Looks like you bought the brackets that require spindle modification. You could always try to contact Kore3 for the instructions.
