go to your local walmart and in the pets department there will be these tubes used in fish tanks that work perfect and are real cheap.

Two friends, one in the car and one at the caliper. The one inside the car pumps the brakes few times and then keeps the pedal to the floor, then the other one opens the valve on the caliper, lets the air out (until fluid comes out), then closes the valve. After which the guy in the car lets go of the pedal. Repeated few times at every caliper.

I didn't even use the tubes, just let it squirt onto a rag, until you see a clear stream, then close the plug. make sure to top off the master cylinder though.

You only need the tubes if you are bleeding the brakes with one person!
