I tried a Mighty Vac. Then I threw it away. That six dollar job will work just fine. In fact. You don't even need that. Just run a tight fitting line from the bleeder screw to a jar half filled with brake fluid. Make sure the bottom of line is below the fluid level in the jar. Crack the screw open and slowly pump the brakes. It acts as an air lock so the air bubbles don't get sucked back in. Close the screw and move on to the next one.



For all you guys that don't earn your living as a full time auto mechanic in a flat rate repair shop, where someone isn't going to stop what they're doing, to help you bleed brakes, this is all that you need to do.
I jury rigged this set up from a windex bottle, and some tip from some sort of squeeze bottle.
Stick a rubber hose into the bottle, with about of inch of fluid in the bottle.
Put the other end onto the bleeders screw.
Open the bleeder screw, and pump the pedal.
Just keep your eye on the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir, refill as necessary, to you feel your done with that side.
Close the bleeder screw, and move onto the other side.
Repeat the process on each side until your done.
Easy, peasy, and it won't cost you anything, tool wise.
