I dunno what other folks do, but since I live alone (so I have no assistant
to pump pedals), I bought myself a mi-tey vac vacuum bleeder kit. I've used
it to bleed the clutch and brake systems on my van with excellent results
(even after totally emptying it to change brake lines).

Look for the 06820 kit here:
