To bleed the brakes on my daughter's car I bought a Harbor Freight brake bleeder that attaches to my compressor. I believe that it uses a venturi to create a vacuum just like a Miracle Grow sprayer. In any case, if your compressor is up to it, the little sucker works great. We just changed the clutch master cylinder on a friend's Toyota pickup truck that had so much air in the line that we couldn't bleed it manually. Hooking up this bleeder made quick work of it.
On sale now for $25, but it's only $30 normally. I expected very little, but was pleasantly surprised by how well it works.

I bought one last year and used it to bleed my brakes this past December before our trip to the southwest this month. As Larry said it work great!
