.. one-man brake bleeder kit ??..
Grease in the bleeder threads needs to be done very, very carefully. You don't want to get it in the brake system. Brake System Assembly Lube would be a better choice.
I use a Laura Scudders pint peanut butter jar, some copper tube, some J-B Weld, and about 20 feet of vacuum tube. Oh yeah, and a manifold vacuum port on the intake of a running engine.

Short copper tube gets the long hose and goes to the intake. Long copper tube gets the shorter hose and goes to the bleeder. The ends of both tubes are slightly flared to get a better seal on the hose. the end of the long tube MUST stay under the surface off the old fluid.
