A small hand held oil pump can with a short piece of small
diameter hose attached works well.

With the oil pump full of hydraulic oil, slide the hose on the oil pump over
the lower left bleed valve. Remove the reservoir cap and open the bleed
valve. Fill the left side until the fluid is just into the reservoir. Close the
bleeder valve and pump the brake pedal to help move air into the line.
Continue to fill the left side of the system until all air is removed from the
system. Close the bleed valve and remove the oil pump. Refill the oil pump,
attach it to the right side bleed valve, and follow the same procedure.
Continue to fill the system and alternate sides until the system is free of all
air bubbles. Do
NOT
overflow the reservoir, so check it often. Repeat as
needed until brakes are solid.
