One way to "power bleed" is to find a rubber stopper that fits tightly
over the master cylinder fill hole. You then drill a hole in the stopper
such that you can fit it to an air blow gun attachment.
Fire up the compressor and set the regulator to a few psi.
Check the master fluid level often as you proceed.
Worked for me.

Bleeding the brakes can be a PITA. If you bench bleed the master then you
have less air to remove form the lines. Unless of course if you have a
power bleeder than it makes little difference.
