brake bleeder pumps

[Sunliner]

Anyone here use a pump or other device to bleed air out of your brake lines?

With work, kids, etc, I usually wind up not getting to work on my ride until at night & by that time there's no one around that I can "borrow" to work the brake pedal for me, so I'm trying find a way to make this a 1 man operation if possible. I just don't know what works & what doesn't.

Thanks in advance!

you can gravity bleed them, but is better doing it with a 2nd person.
when i have no one around i open all bleeders and keep filling res. making sure it never gets low for about a hour.

Mighty Mite makes a nice little vacuum pump for bleeding. It also can be used for a few other things and comes with all the adaptors.
