Brake bleeders

I use the bottle too. Get a plastic bottle and wrap a wire around the neck (use the wire to hang the bottle near the bleeder somewhere). Get a few pieces of rubber hose in different sizes, to fit (TIGHTLY!) over the bleeder. Crack the bleeder and then slip the hose on it. The other end hangs down into the bottle - but you need to have the end submerged at all times in brake fluid. This stops air from going back into the system. With the end submerged, pump the brake peddle slowly, all the way down several times.

A helper can holler when there's no more bubbles coming out, or, if you use clear hoses, you can see when there aren't anymore in the line. Start at bleeder farthest from master cylinder and work your way closer. Works great, and, if you use a clean dry bottle (and the fluid is coming out clean!) you can use it to top off the master cylinder - but I usually just toss it out
