problem with brakes

problem with brakes/ anyone know how to bleed them?

hi i was out today and rolled my bike over and bent the brake cable at the top where it joins the brake fluid box.
i sort of fixed it and it doesnt leak and i filled it up with dot3 brake fluid but the brake pull is not what i used to be??
any suggestions on this because it makes me mad and im not to familiar with brakes.
thank you for any input.

If you had leakage following the ding, then you will have to bleed the system (expel all the air). This is best done by reading the manual, if you don't have a manual then search on this site for 'bleeding'
or similar. It's a bit fiddly first time, but will get you back and working as before,

yea i figured it had to be soemthing like that pressure wise..
the manual does not say how this is done so im not gunna try and mess with that cause i usually mess stuff up when i do it myself.
