I made one of these for a Volvo 870 I used to own. Basically just build it, put fluid in it, screw the cap on the reservoir, pump it up lightly. I used a stick to hold the pedal down. At the wheel I had a tube going into a bottle with fluid and all I did was crack the bleed screw, fluid would flow and when I saw no bubbles, close the screw. Move on to next wheel.

Any thoughts?

The DIY $20 brake bleeder

 

yes i believe 04duxlr posted p[ix of one he made

 

I've used that setup on mine but for me by far the easiest way to bleed the brakes was with speed bleeders. If you haven't heard of them, they are a bleeder screw with a spring-loaded check valve in them. You crack the bleeder and just push on the pedal and out comes the fluid. The check valve seals it up when the pedal returns so no air is drawn in. I use them for fluid changes too. Some people have had problems with them quickly corroding up and becoming useless but I haven't had that issue and I installed them several years ago. Just the same, you could install them, bleed the brakes, then swap them out for the original bleeders if you wanted. I will have to see if I can find what part numbers I used.

 

Just bought a reservoir cap for a Disco II for $10 and decided to make one myself. Partly because I may not have my wife/son at the time, partly because I just wanted to make one. :-)
