a trick I have had good luck with for nearly all brake systems is this: Take a brake fluid bottle and cut off the bottom. Drill a hole in the cap just smaller than a piece of vaccum tubing(tubing should fit snugly on the nipple of a bleeder screw) and fit one end or the tubing into the hole and fit the cap snuggly on the bottle.
When you bleed brakes fit the loose end of the tube over the bleeder before loosening the bleeder and set the bottle above the bleeder so the line is fairly straight and put just enough brake fluid in the upside down bottle to cover the end of the tube. Pump the pedal (full strokes) and watch the fluid level in the resevoir.
This shoud do a fine job for bleeding after installing new components and for flushing brakes and its cheap to make(I came up with this in a fit of frustration on a stuborn brake system if everyone else has already done this then sorry i wasted the space but it has helped me out alot )
