Get a small hand air pump, like you might use on a bicycle. Pump the pressure to 15 psi after lid is on and secure. Let sit 15 minutes, check pressure, increase to 20 psi, then bleed brakes. This is how I do it as a 1 person operation.
That's a pretty neat trick.
I had trouble with mine. Ended up being the first 2 brand new master cylinders I bought were bad. Third one was a charm!
