gravity bleeding works but can be messy, brake fluid will eat paint off anything it touches. if you do it that way put a short piece of hose on the bleeder to route fluid away from any pretty painted parts.
they make speed bleeders for one man bleeding that also work ok.
but IMO its best to have a helper push the pedal for you the old fashioned way, quick & easy & you can see when there is no more air in the line if you use a hose with the end submerged in a bottle with a couple inches of brake fluid. get a family member, friend or neighbor that can give you 10 minutes to push the pedal.
