Elixir 5 bleed problem

I was bleeding my rear elixir 5 when the bleed skit sprung a leak and a whole load of air got into the system. I've got a new bleed kit now so it won't leak again.

My question is whether i can just bleed them like normal and it will get all the air out or whether there is going to be too much air and i will need to do something else first to remove the air, there's enough air in there for me to pull the lever all the way to the bars and the pistons don't move at all!

Thanks

    Just follow the instruction and bleed them. It is no different to before.

    Just think how would we manage if the system was new with no fluid? It is no different at all.
