Slyde:
I have done this in the past using like a l.75-2.25" tube. Double the cut end over like dungaree cuffs, and stretch it over the mouth of the reservoir. Then clamp with a hose clamp.
The other end, I usually fold over on itself a few times and clamp it with vise grips on a couple strips or blocks of wood, or, in a pinch, the flat mid sections of a couple box-open wrenches.
But the how-tos of bleeding have been kicked around a lot on here, and my favorite is CMyles's method, of a long tube of clear poly popped over the bleed screw, and filled with fresh fluid. Hold end up in air, crack bleed screw, wipe end clean and apply mouth and blow, watching reservoir till bubbles stop coming up. Set bleeder.
