Pressure Bleeder

For less than the cost of 30 minutes labor at most shops you can buy a pressure bleeder that makes a one-man 20 minute job of bleeding brakes. Should cost around $50. or less with the correct adapter for your car and it won't take "days" to do the job. The one I use is a Motive Products Model 0100. Comes with old Benz adapter and is available many places including ebay.

Some advocate the use of a vacuum bleeder such as MityVac but the vacuum bleeder is vulnerable to sucking air in around the bleed screw threads when it is loosened.
