A few notes on bleeding brakes - get a propane torch and heat the bleeders up if they won't turn, because if you break one off you will need to replace the caliper.
Bleeding brakes can be done alone just by putting a 2-3 foot length of clear tubing on the bleeder and running it into a jar, keeping the end of the tubing in the jar under the surface of the fluid.
I made a pressure bleeder out of an old mastercylinder cap, a bicycle tube valve stem and a bike air pump.
Be careful not to run too much fluid out at once - keep the resevior full, otherwise you have to start all over again.
There is a sequence to bleeding Brakes, and it's different for different models. When in doubt, start with the furthest one from the cylinder.
Good luck,
Brian
