I use a Gunson Eezibleed, which is a great bit of kit. It's cheap and
makes bleeding hydraulics a snap.

I have found that about 7-10 psi is best, as things like the reservoir cap
and the rubber gaskets between the reservoir and the master cylinder
(which are not designed to take any pressure) start leaking above 10 psi.
