you could use a brake bleeder kit, or if i recall they make an auto bleeder valve you can use instead of opening and closing the stock one. Its like a check valve.

Run a hose from the bleeder to a bottle or whatever on the ground, put an inch of brake fluid in the bottle, be sure the end of the hose is submerged in the fluid. Open the bleeder and push the brake pedal down slowly. No need to close the bleeder , pump the pedal 3 to 4 times, close bleeder check fluid repeat on other side.
