Does anyone have a power-bleeder? Those are supposed to work really well, to the point that you can do it yourself.
Order some speed-bleeders and you can do it yourself. They're little one-way check valves that you screw in place of the stock bleed valve on each caliper.. just go around to each caliper succesively when you want to bleed the system and pump the brake pedal, the fluid pumps out of the caliper but the check valve doesn't let air back in when you let the brake pedal out, so it's a 1-person job instead of two.
