Funny you mention the baster idea. At a nameless dealer that's how they bleed brakes as park of a service. The resevoir comes off the master cylinder, the tech dumps the fluid, attaches the resevoir and fills. 30 second brake bleed. Gotta love flat rate.
In my other cars I usually bleed the brakes when I replace them. Funny how rebuild calipers for my honda are ~$25 each. How much is a 911 caliper rebuild kit?
