Have you seen what shops use on cage brakes? It's basically a pressurized
tank full of brake fluid. At the end of a hose coming from the tank is a
reservoir cap. So all you have to do is bleed each screw and the tank
maintains pressure and a supply of fresh fluid. No air gets into the
reservoir, just new fluid. IIRC, they're a couple hundred bucks.

One can get the same results with one of these for less than $60.
