When I need to pump brake peddle after brake work I use a short piece of 1.5" PVC with a slit cut into it. Keeps my helper from accidentally pushing the peddle to the floor. BTW, cut the slit thinner than the brake pedal or it can slip off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Speed bleeders let you bleed the brake lines on just about any vehicle all by yourself. Just replace the old bleeder screws with speed bleeders. They have an internal check valve that will pump excess air and fluid out for you. A special coating on the speed bleeders' threads keep them from admitting air into the system, and keep expelled air and fluid out. When you're done, just tighten the screws and go on to the next brake cylinder.

special coating is not so good, maybe add some rtv - LOVE these
