Expert Reply:
The instructions may vary depending on the brand of the electric-over-hydraulic (EOH) actuator but for the HydraStar actuators, like part # HS381-8067 that you referenced, it basically boils down to using the bleeder screw and the brake controller on your vehicle (with your tow vehicle's ignition turned on). The entire process is a bit more complicated than that though so I have attached a clip from the instructions for the HydraStar actuator that walks you through the brake bleeding process.
