Bob,

I have used a Gunson Eezibleed Kit for donkeys years. The first kit was 
bought around 1965, later was ones followed as these were constantly 
improved upon. However you can improvise on this with a bicycle inner tyre.

Basically you pressurize the brake fluid reservoir and open the bleed 
nipples one by one until clear and bubble free liquid appears. You need 
to get used to the system to avoid spillages and you have to top up the 
brake fluid reservoir after flushing each line.

Others use a vacuum hand pump to draw the fluid through the bleed nipples.
