Pedal method really is easy and much more effective then vacuum pump nonsense.
And you can do it without any help, no need to have a second person with you at all !
The key ingredient is having a long, good fitting hose over the nipple.. and route it upwards...
Have at least 10 inches vertical tube, and all air will go up in the tube, and not get sucked back in the nipple.
Open the nipple.
Go sit in the car
pump till there's a good 5 inches of brake fluid in the hose and no more air comes out.
close the nipple
Repeat on the other 4 corners
DONE
No need to open/pump/close/open/pump/close/open/pump/close with a helper pumping for you...
Just open once
pump till you've flushed out enough oil and all air...
close.
All you have to worry about is making sure your brake reservoir isn't emptied when you pump out a lot.
fool proof. and all you have to buy is a bit of tube.. and fresh brake fluid.
no compressor needed, no vac pump needed (and those can do bad things with ABS in some cases, so another reason to avoid em)
