go to a chemist and get a plastic syringe, available in 10 or 20cc sizes, attach this to the bleed pipe, open the nipple and "Pull" the fluid through the system, keeping the master cylinder topped up! youll have no problems bleeding them this way, done it for years, wouldnt go back to the "Push" fluid through the system again!!!!!
binding brakes may indicate that the piston return/dust seal in the calliper is old and bloated. this is a square section seal that gets distorted slightly when you press the pedal, then returns to its original shape when pressure is let off. when they are old they bloat and cause the pistons to stick. easy to replace once the pistons are out, put new ones in with some brake fluid as a lube tho.......

hope that helps.
