When you bleed your brakes, get a clear tube that fits tightly over the bleeders. Use a small hose clamp if you have to. The other end should go down into a clear and clean coke bottle or similar. What I do is drill a hole in the cap to hold the tube securely, then a smaller hole next to it to let the bottle vent. The tube should extend all the way to the bottom, and be submerged in about an inch of clean brake fluid.
Now, with that set up, pump away until you see clean fluid in the tube! You don't even need a second person! (But it still helps). Just make sure the reservoir stays topped off. It's super satisfying to see the fluid turn from black to clear.
