    I bought a pump from IPD. It works great so long as you don't over presurize it. About 15 psi is good. You just pour all of the new fluid in the tank and hook the hose to the PS reservior, pump it up, and start bleeding.

    One person, no mess, no worries about the MC running dry..

    I prefer a vacuum setup, cheap and easy to find at Harbor Freight and auto parts stores. Ensure you have a good seal from vacuum tubing to the caliper nipple, otherwise air can be introduced. Leave the top off the fill reservoir and maintain the height of the vacuum collector above the caliper nipple, so that air bubbles travel up to the collector, instead of back to the caliper.
