Excellent write up. Let me add one tiny detail from the motorcycle world. I used to routinely replace the bleed nipples on my brakes with "speed bleeders". They are from speedbleeder.com and contain a spring loaded check valve that lets fluid out and keeps air from being sucked back in. You could then dispense with the broom stick. My car is LHD and I can see that it would add difficultly as I would need a hinged broomstick.
