Get yourself a Phoenix Injector or a Mityvac. Makes bleeding brakes a breeze.

the most effective way for me too bleed brakes is:

to take a short section of small hose (like aqauriam air line)

then crack your bleeder valve slip the hose over the valve

put the other end of the hose in a container with some brake fluid, remove the resivior cap and keep it topped off with fluid while you pump the handle/foot lever until you see no more air bubble in the hose, then tighten the valve by hand, remove the hose, then snug with ratchet...

just make sure you keep the resiviors topped off,, cuse if you suck them dry you will defeat the whole purpose...

thats the only way i bleed brakes...
