All you need is a glass jar with several inches of fluid in it and a piece of clear neoprene hose that fits snugly over the bleeder valve. Hook the hose to the loosened bleeder valve and put the other end into the jar-keep the end submerged in the fluid. Simply pump the brake pedal til the old fluid turns clear and there are no more bubbles. Tighten the bleeder and move to the next one. Just make sure the master cylinder always has plenty of fluid and keep the other end of the hose submerged in the fluid that is in the jar. Kind of simple but pretty inexpensive.
