The soft top is pretty much self bleeding. Keep the pump out of the hole on a 2x4, top up the fluid and try to work the top a bunch. Then take loose the upper hydraulic connection on the left side 5th bow cylinder (left is drivers side- 5th bow is the cyl attached to the rear window) and leave it open for 5 minutes (or if fluid starts to pour out) tighten it back up, make sure resevoir is full and work the top a bunch more times. let the car sit for 2 hours.
Some times the car won't bleed, then you may have to take the top line off the 5th bow again and have someone power the top and close it off when fluid comes out.
you'll probably need a battery charger going the whole time also.
good luck
