The cheapest and most effective way is to get a small silicon/rubber hose that you can fit over the bleeder screw nipple. You can get this hose at a hobby shop (Gas powered airplane fuel line). You put the hose in a small bottle and submerge the end in more brake fluid (pour a little out of the new bottle). Loosen the bleeder screw and pump away. The backwards action of the pedal now brings in fluid not air so it means you can pump without reclosing the screw. you MUST not let the master cylinder run out of fluid or you just reintroduced air into the system and have a lot more bleeding to do. Also be sure NEVER to push the pedal all the way to the floor you will likely damage the seals on the master cylinder.

Also there is not specific amount of times this should be done. YOu do it till no more air is coming through the tube in bubbles. YOu also shoudl do this until the fluid is a consistant color. Dirty is bad. You are certainly benefited by 2 people but by no means need 2 people. Doing this "20 pums fast and hard" will likely damage the master cylinder seals and will waste fluid. Pump steady and do not go to the floor. DO this till you see no more air or dirt and then close the bleeder screw before removing the tube from the bleeder nipple.

The shop manual specifies the order the brakes should be bled. When in dount farthes to closest from the master cylinder will work.
