I was hoping that I could get one of these locally. No such luck. However, after looking at this bleeder, it appears to be fairly easy to build on your own. I may not have much car experience, but I do have some experience with homebrewing contraptions dealing with the movement of liquid. Replace a yard sprayer handle with a spare master cylinder cap with a nipple; connect nipple to hose. Voila. A homemade brake bleeder. Such a simple idea that I figured it must have been done before. Here is a great link to building one yourself:
