Easiest way is to vac pump until you see fluid; close bleeder; pump lever and hold; break bleeder; close bleeder and repeat pumping/ bleeding pattern.

It's helpful to have a clear hose coming from the bleeder so you can see what you have for air bubbles.

Big bubbles = lots of air in the system

Tiny bubbles (I mean "nearing microscopic") = small amount of air in the system

Also, if you vac pump and see bubbles remember that some of the air bubbles you see are being introduced through the threads of the bleeder when it's cracked open.

I've found that the good ole fashioned method of pumping, holding and cracking the bleeder works best.
