[Shotimes] electronic brake bleeder

[van Oss]

On eBay I bought one of those Thextron electronic brake bleeders.  You
disconnect the ABS computer and plug this thing in its place.  It's got just
two buttons, Start and Abort.

I've read the directions and still have a question.  Do I still need a
helper to press-hold-release the brake pedal while I bleed at each wheel?
It appears so.  I had hoped that this gizmo would enable me to bleed the
whole system more automatically.

Any tips?
