Buy speedbleeders. They are cool. You replace your stock bleeder with one of these. You loosen it, pump the brakes, and let the airy fluid come out. When you release the brakes, there is a small valve which doesn't let air back in.
I've heard of people who've had problems with speed bleeders. I'll stick with the old school method. I'd find it frustrating if the bleeders didn't actually seal off going back in, because I'd probably not be able to tell visually.
I got speed bleeders for another car and they were more trouble than they were worth. I ended up using them like regular bleeders. For $40 or so you can get a mighty vac and bleed the system yourself from the caliper. Just make sure to keep the resivoir topped off so it doesn't suck a big gulp of air in and you'll have to repeat the process after cussing for a while.
