There's some right complicated b*llocks about bleeding brakes about.

Open the bleed nipples, fill the reservoir. If you're lucky in 5 minutes gravity will do most of the work for you.
Make sure you tilt bars so MC is pointing down for this method. Then close nipples. You can also wiggle lever (pull it but not past seal point) to help things along.

Then pull lever back past seal point, open nipple, pull lever back, close it. Repeat. Repeat procedure for all bleed points and banjos.
