Y'know, I did mine with a piece of mountain bike inner tube and it worked like a champ, a slow champ, but a champ. I cut about 14-16" out of an old 1.75" mountain bike tube, the part with the schrader valve in it, rolled up one end and clamped it, cut a thin strip to use as a tie, filled up the reservoir to the brim, tied the open end over the reservoir, pumped the tube up til it looked like an oblong baloon about 8" in diameter, cracked the bleed nipple (on which I had put a 2ft piece of clear line, and watched the bubbles crawl through. You use so little fluid that you don't need to refill. Since the tube can expand it never builds more than a few pounds of pressure, dead easy. If you need to put more fluid in take the tube off and put more in. Throw the whole mess away when you're done. No pedal pumping or nothing.
