Usually, you have to bleed brakes individually, so unless you are relpacing the master cylinder, there is no easy way to do this. It takes 2 people 1 line each.

Yes, it's called gravity bleeding. Jack up the rear of the car, and open the bleeder valve on the caliper farthest from the master cylinder. Leave it open overnight. Gravity will let the air bleed out normally. It doesn't always work perfect, though.

Yes there are kits available to make brake bleeding easier. They include a pump that attaches to a bleeder screw to pull out old fluid as you add the new.

Easy stuff bleeding brakes, it's a two person job. One person is inside the car pumping the brake pedal, which releases the air bubbles in the line and the other is under the car tightening the bleed screw when the air is out of the line.

As long as you have a tube on the bleeder valve which is air tight, and the fluid has no air bubbles in it, you can get in the car and pump the brakes until the fluid runs clear. Make sure you keep refilling the reservoir and don't allow any air in when you close the valve.

Bleeding your brakes should be done starting from the tire farthest away from your master brake cylinder working your way closer. Attached to each brake is a hose with a valve. Make sure the master cylinder is full and loosen the valve, pump the brakes until no air escapes the valve. Secure valve and repeat with remaining tires.

Yes there is and if you go to Auto Zone they will have a gravity bleeder. It is basically a tube and a cup with a magnet and all you do is break the bleeder screw and hook up the line and start pressing the brake pedal. You will see the cup filling and then you put it back in.

There a few different kits out there for this. One system uses a pressurized air source vacuum bleed the system for you. There are also kits available to "reverse" bleed the brakes. This forces new fluid back through the system eliminating any air bubbles.

Yes actually they make a one person brake bleeding kit that you would be able to buy at most auto part stores. It is very easy to use and gives you good results without taking up alot of your time. They are also relatively inexpensive to buy. Good luck with your repair.
