One easy way is to buy a small pressure sprayer and modify it to accept
a small plastic hose, one that fits the brake valve.  Put hydraulic
fluid in the container, pump it to about 15 lbs and connect it to the
brake valve.  Open the valve and press the sprayer valve to fill the
system.  If you buy one that allows you to hold the valve open you can
then keep a check on the reservoir until you get a solid flow of fluid,
no bubbles.  All one needs to then is close the brake valve,
depressurize the pump and remove the hose.  Your done.  Just did this to
my IVP today after replacing the plastic lines with stainless.  Took
some time to completely fill the lines and reservoir but it was very
easy.

Good Luck

  Angier,
  Get a regular auto vac tool from aircraft tool supply or wherever and
pull
the air out rather than trying to pump it out. You can do it by
yourself.
