+1

I have a simple bleeder which consists of a cap for the reservoir, with 
just a rubber wheel valve, and a hose to connect the cap to the nearest 
wheel, which is used as a pressure source.

Works for both the stock clutch and brake cylinders.

You just have to keep an eye on the fluid level and refill before you 
push air into the system.

Makes bleeding a true one man job.
