Go buy 25' of clear irrigation hose ... essentially hook up your 'return' irrigation hose to the top bleeder nipple on the caliper and run the hose back to the brake fluid reservoir and secure it in place so it can pour in there.
This is the technique I have used for a long time. But before you start 'recycling' fluid, make sure you flush each line with clear fresh fluid. Old fluid needs to be
replaced not just bled.
I would start by spending a lot of time with the line hooked up to the drivers front caliper. You want to bleed all of the air out of the MC first. You should spend a
long time pumping fluid. This will take more than 5 minutes. Think, more like 30 minutes. And this is why recirculating fluid is so handy, your reservoir won't go dry and you don't need an assistant. Just pump and pump and pump some more. If you get a long enough line (15' should be good), you can route the hose so you can see any bubbles that are coming out. Remember that you'll see no bubbles for a long time, and then every once in awhile a little one will come out. So keep after it. Also, I've found it helps to close the bleed nipple every once in awhile and
slowly pump the pedal. This causes pressure fluctuation in the system that can free up some stubborn bubbles.
Good luck!
