Power bleed them from the master, not by trying to suck on the wheel
cylinders with a Miti-Vac.  Home-brew stuff is cheaper, but the no-hassle
way is Gunson E Z Bleed.  Available from the usual Britcar vendors.  be sure
to:

Test pressure dry before putting fluid in bottle.

and

Only use about 5-10 psi in the spare tire.

Works great, and better than any other method I have tried.
