The zerk fitting has a small check valve (ball and spring) in the end and allows flow only one-way. Use slow action on the brake pedal, checking the MC for low brake fluid often and you're done. It helps to have someone hold the hose in the container and check for no more air bubbles.

This is exactly how "speed bleeders" work, and they work great. I put a set on the calipers I rebuilt for the wife's Sportwagon, and it worked like a charm.!
