    I tried everything imaginable. Only 2 things have worked well.

    1. Mitey vac brake bleeder. Gotta pump it up then open the bleeder.

    2. Syringe. I got a syringe from a farm supply store and used some clear tubing from home depot. Filled syringe and backfed the system and it took all of 2 mins.

    if you change your pads properly you won't even have to bleed, but i've always had luck gravity bleeding over night. I've only had to bleed new brake lines. I've changed tons of sets of pads and never had to bleed. A note about pads, don't buy ebay pads, they last about 1 day.

    harbor freight sells a cheap brake bleeding kit which i have used several times and it cuts the bleeding time down a ton. Also what i used to do is disconnect the brake line at the master cyliner, then fill a syringe with brake fluid and shoot it down the line until the line is full. Then when you bleed the brakes like normal it will be almost instand because you dont have to wait for the master cylinder to fill the line which is what takes forever.
