I bought a 'power bleeder' from Rocky Mountain Motor Works a while back.  If
you are handy you could build your own using a small garden sprayer, a
pressure guage, a hose barb gizmo, and a spare brake fluid resevior cap.
Drill a hole in the sprayer and screw the pressure guage into it.  Drill a
hole through the cap for the hose barb and attach the sprayer hose -- you'll
want to modify the sprayer head so you can still use the valve.  There were
instructions to build one of these on the BMW board a couple years ago.

To flush and bleed the brake system you first use a turkey baster to get as
much of the old fluid out of the resevior as you can, dump a big can of
brake fluid into the sprayer, attach the cap to the resevior, pump it up to
about 25 psi, and start opening the bleeder screws one at a time starting
with the right rear.  I have to pump it up each time I do a wheel but it
takes maybe 20 minutes from start to finish.

Just make sure you never use the sprayer on you roses and nobody retuens the
baster to kitchen use.
