Will, I do all my work myself including bleeding brakes. All you need is a plastic hose that's a tight fit on the bleed screw and a bottle with brake fluid in it. Attach clear plastic hose to bleeder, stick other end in bottle and make sure it stays under the fluid level, crack the bleeder, gently push the pedal down and SLOWLY back up. Top up MC as needed as you go. After a few pumps, no more air, tighten bleeder and do the next one. I always start by removing bleeders and making sure they are not blocked, then replace and nip up. When all are done I loosen them one at a time until fluid starts to drip and nip up again. Once that happens I start with the bleeder closest to the MC and hose hooked up as explained. Sounds tedious but doesn't take long.
