Smile bleeding brakes dont laugh
Promise not to laugh.....

I do it like this..

one meter length of plastic pipe, fill with fluid, attatch one end to open bleed nipple, other end to small fish tank air pump.

remove reservoir cap and make sure res is EMPTY !!

turn on pump, go have a cup of tea.

come back, and I find the lil pump has pushed the air up the pipes and followed it with fluid.

As for the rear, caliper needs to be higher than reservoir, and nipple on top, (air only goes uphill)

silly way I know, but hey, it works for me !!
