Pressure bleeder.

I suppose you COULD do it the hard way.....

That requires a tree stump and a truck & driver.

Pressure or maybe vacuum from the wheel end. Kind of what I figured. I'll bet there is a Youtube vid on doing it.

I've always wanted to try a set of speed bleeders.

Debbie has a fine video also; a bit more entertaining.

I have the Mity-Vac too. Have not used it for bleeding brakes yet. I was at Harbor Freight last night and noticed they have that brand name kit for $40. And some knock-off for a bit less. The only thing is I wish it had a bigger reservoir.
