Gravity bleed.

Fill master cyc.
Leave top on but loose
Open the wheel bleeders one at a time noting the passage of fluid and or bubbles.
Recheck for full master cyc.
GO to the next wheel and thus repeat.
Start with the longest lines first and work back.

Or buy sucker that draws out fluid one wheel at a time, longest first.

Or get the right sized tubing to fit closely over the bleeder and run the tubing BELOW the liquid level of a clear container partially filled with brake fluid. When you press the pedal the fluid flows out, when you release, fluid only and no air can be drawn back into the lines.

Or get a helper that listens to you and say UP, and DOWN to pressurize the lines as you open and close the bleeder.

ME< I never have to bleed my lines, just wood block the pistons back and replace the pads. I change fluid when bored to keep it fresh now and then, getting out the water that tries to accumulate in brake fluid.
