you can get an easy-bleed kit and do it on your own but best bet is to use a normal blled kit and a helpful mat eor family member.

put the hose on the nipple, and use a 9mm spanner. pump the brake pedal, undo the nipple. let the pedal press to the floor. tighten the nipple. then repeat a few times.

do the brakes diagonally, ie rear right then front left.

best off running knew brake fluid in as well.

I have a gunsons eezi bleed kit, pressure kit, no pedal action required, and no chance of knackering the master cylinder seals.

I couldn't get mine to work tho,Lol, couldn't get a good air pressure seal on the master cylinder cap, so i used the pedal method,Lol.

their good in theory, but when things dont seal as you said, they're a waste of money... new seals probably cost less as well lol
