FWIW I have always followed the method outlined by Randall.
Open valve, have assistant push pedal down, observe transparent tube for 
bubbles. When pedal fully down close valve whilst assistant lets pedal come 
back. Repeat until no more bubbles. Whilst this is going on keep  the 
reservoir topped up.Usually start with the wheel closest to the reservoir, 
ending withe wheel farthest. This is also a good way to change the fluif as 
you can see when it flows out clean.
The disadvantage of this method in my case at least is that when the 
operation is finished, SWAMBO gives you some frightful job in the garden or 
the laundry because you have taken her time in such a boring and time 
consuming way.
On a related matter, some years ago I tried a single handed attempt with a 
Gunsons Easy Bleed kit. Ended up with fluif all over the rear end of the 
engine bay! Can this Easy Bleed  kit be made to work?
