My mate bought a pump that he hooks up to the spare wheel valve and pumps the fluid through, wait till it comes out and lock the valve off, rinse and repeat. If you want more info pm me mate.

I thought it was simple as getting someone to pump the brake pedal & then loosening the bleed valve on each side abit, to let all the air/bubbles out?

it is. But if changing the fluid its easier and better if you got a pump to suck the fluid out.
