A quick , easy, and effective solution to brake bleeding is to install Speed
Bleeders. This ingenious product installs permanently on each wheel cylinder,
replacing the old bleeder. It's a one way valve that allows you to do the job
without the assistance of another person. The web site is
www.speedbleeder.com. They don't list TC's but the part number for the front is SB71620, and the
part number for the rear is SB51624.

I prefer to use a pressure bleeder, since the pedal pumping method can sometimes ruin a master cylinder. Pushing the pedal to the floor moves the master cylinder piston beyond it's normal range and could destroy the seals if the cylinder walls have crud or corrosion. I killed a perfectly good master cylinder on a old Mercedes by doing it this way. This shouldn't be an issue on a new or re-sleeved Master cylinder.

The Ezibleed unit offered by Moss which uses pressure from a tire works extremely well and you can do it by yourself and very quickly. Check with Google for places that sell it at a discount, or when Moss has a sale. Around $30.
