Exactly. If you were to replace all your bleeder screws with those 'speed-bleeder' screws, then you could do follow Dustin or GL's methods. Otherwise you need a hand vac or another person. Either way, I still recommend another person to keep a close eye on the brake reservoir - it drains very quickly.

Edit: The standard bleeder screws that are already on the calipers from the factory don't seal all that well when opened, so I would be concerned about these 'speed-bleeders' letting air back into the system through the threads. If I were to fit these, I'd probably put some teflon tape on their threads first.
