Brake Calipers

I have to rebuild the calipers on my 97 F150 any suggestions on an easy way to plug the line quickly to stop the brake fluid leaking out?

i put a 1/4 inch bolt thru the eye with a copper washer on each side and a nut to hold it tight. but in the end, i would fill and pump, fill and pump, etc and change the oil. i just did not want extra air entering the system.

Thanks

Thanks Steve I just read your reply but had already rebuilt the caliper, I used a rolled up piece of an old tire tube, still had a bit of leaking but was able to stay on top of it by adding to the filler, then bled the lines. Works great now.
