if you dont mind a little mess , you can cover the holes with your fingers, pump the piston, while the piston is pushed in cover the holes tightly with your fingers, release the piston and repeat probably 4-5 times, use a towel to catch the fluid and a clamp of some sort to hold the M/C. ......no school like old school

I have done that way for years. Works fine.

$1.99 at Advance, get a block off kit for bleeding the M/C and do it with no mess and no worries about air.
