If you can get a large syringe, it works very well....

Pop it on the bleeder and force fluid backwards to the master and your about done. Then I crack the bleeder again and PULL the fluid back thru the master and line a couple times and it's done.

For the last few years, I don't pump up anything, I ,let the syringe and fluid do all the work....

The only obstacle I find is a crushed bleed screw from people overtightening them, otherwise this way works 100%. My EX EX was a vet tech, she got me a dozen syringes but I'm sure they can be found and aren't allot of $$ - maybe EBAY but look for about a .250 output and I'll check the CC's on mine but it holds maybe 1/8 cup of brake fluid??

Mighty vac gave me worse results than my method does, not to mention the poor mans "redneck snake bite method" which is what I did before I got the syringes.

You can';t have any air leaks obviously, fortunately the syringe output is tapered so you can just jam a hose on there......

GLUCK!
