Some people have luck using a vacuum pump like a mityvac. I did not, however I used a clear hose run through the cap of a 20oz pop bottle and screwed on to the bottle. It’s been a while but I think made sure the bottle or at least part of the hose was above the bleeder screw. I cracked the bleeder, made sure the reservoir was topped off and pumped the pedal slowly. The fluid fills and travels through the tube into the empty bottle. Any air should rise (hence keeping part of the hose or the bottle above the bleeder) away from the bleeder and help prevent it from being sucked back in. I did that alone until there was no more bubbles (being sure the reservoir was always topped off and not sucking any air) and called it a day. Didn’t have to take it anywhere after and all has been well.
