1) So what your saying is the suck back isn't great enough to worry about.

2) Do you find that you have to push the pedal many more times than a 2 man operation?

3) Also has anyone heard of gravity bleeding by just leaving the bleed valves open and letting time and gravity do the work?

1) The suck back isn't much to worry about. I just immerse the tube in a bit of brake fluid and deliberately use a bit more fluid. Tomorrow, I will post a pic of my incredibly 'elaborate' system. It consists of a used 1.25 L lemonade bottle with a hole thru the cap, a length of clear tube and a bit of brake fluid at the bottom of the bottle.

2) Unfortunately, I too have no friends, and my wife is completely intolerant of my car stuff, so I have no idea.

3) I usually use gravity to do my clutch system because I am slack and it takes less time (than doing the brakes by this method).

There are other fancy systems that use positive pressure applied to the master cylinder to effectively 'flush' the brake system with new fluid. The mechanics here will have a better idea of what this is - I have only heard about it.
