Here is my method for doing it solo:

1. Put a +- 4 foot length of tight-fitting see-through tube on the nipple, and tie the other end of the tube to a high point (to form a stand-pipe).

2. Tightly wedge a length of timber between the brake pedal and the frame of the front seat, to pressurise the brake fluid.

3. Go back to the nipple and open it. Release of pressure in the hydraulic system is sufficient to push the fluid a foot or so up the tube. Close the nipple again.

4. Release the brake pedal.

If necessary, repeat 2 to 4, draining the tube from time to time.
