I bought one from Northern tools or Harbor freight or one of those
companies a little over a year ago. Same type with a clear bottle hooked
up to a vacuum pump that you pump with what looks like a big trigger.
The one I bought had several fittings included to hook up to several
different bleeder sizes. Has a handy storage case for it too. I don't
think it cost a whole lot. Sorry I can't remember where I got it. Works
great though and solves the problem of needing someone to pump the
brakes.

Someone makes those really cool bleeders that you just loosen and pump
and
they have the one way valve that prevents air from being sucked back in.
Summit has them, but you have to know the bleeder size as they do not
have a
cross reference for each vehicle.

Get yourself a nice bucket, a few bottles of brake fluid, and a few
extra
bleeder screws first. Then start on the RR and crack the bleeder open
let
the fluid come out and once you're done (you like the way it
looks...usually
clear) stop it off. then move to the LR, RF, and LF last. Remember to
keep
the resivior topped off otherwise you'll get air in the lines.
