Klaus gave good advice. Brakes really aren't that hard once you learn them.
The best thing I've ever done brake-related was to buy an extra reservoir cap, drill a hole in it, and silicone a bike tire valve in it. Instant pressure bleeder! I made it for my 240's years ago, but was happy to learn that the 850 threading is the same! Now to bleed, all I need to do is hook up a bike pump and pump the thing while making sure the reservoir does not run out of fluid. Just used it on my 850 with excellent results. I would always suggest against the pedal method of bleeding--there's just too much potential for messing up master cylinder bores.
The first time I did brakes on a 240, I had a haynes manual right beside me the entire time. the biggest pain was that the copper brakes lines were jammed and had to be cut off. Now I have an 11mm snap-on flare nut wrench and all is well in that department. Anyways, that brake job included front calipers and rotors as well as bleeding the entire system, and the haynes manual was more than sufficient for my (then) very limited auto knowledge.
Good luck and if you have questions, ask the brickboard!
