Don't open the bleed screws too far or you will never get all the air out as the master cylinder only pumps a tiny amount of fluid.In the UK I have found those one man bleeders with a ball valve on the end of the pipe to be very good for one man bleeding.Classic car people sell them.I am also using silicone brake fluid as it doen't absorb moisture.It seems to be OK and I have never had problems-despite the scare stories.It was invented for the US Military so that one fluid could be used whether the vehicle was operating in the Artic Circle or the Desert.My Crystal gets used on slurry spreading and I used to have problems with the slave cylinders corroding when the Rubber dust caps perished.When I put new seals on I used two plastic lids from 500 ml gear oil bottles as a cover over the rubber dust seal and have had no more problems!!
