As already mentioned, a clear tube can help you see the air bubbles coming out of the bleeder valve. Keep an eye on the reservoir and close the bleeder valve after the air bubbles stop and fluid drains smoothly.

I use a Mityvac for all hydraulic bleeding. It does a good job and you do not need a second person pumping pedals and getting confused about the terms "up", "down" or "hold".

I have run into problems with a vac pump. Ended up using a pressure bleeder.
