Default bleeding problem!

Ok here is my problem, I just installed brembos on my non brembo 07, now I am having the “air in the system problem”, many of you say the only way is to pressurize the system but unfortunately I can’t get the pressure bottle from jsc speed since they don’t ship to Canada
Here is 2 solutions I came up with let me know what you think

1- Use the stock cap of the master cylinder, drill a hole and put a wheel valve on it, then attach it to a pump? Or even straight to your tire with 33psi??

2- Use a gun to suck from the valve of the calliper, I just got one from my friend but dont know if it works

you didn't let the entire system drain did you?

getting air out of the ABS module is a biotch IMO.
takes time, patience, and more time.

you don't "NEED" a pressure system to get it out of the rest of the sys, but if its in there g~l.

EDIT: some of the devices that suck from the caliper work jsut fine....if I can give you one tip it be:

MAKE SURE THE RESERVOIR DOESN'T GO DRY

You should be able to just have a partner do this.Push the pedal to the end of travel and then open bleeder and do this multiple times on each bleeder screw from the farthest to the nearest bleeder screw to the master cylinder.Just make sure you keep the master cylinder full.Do not pump up the brake pedal at all.
