If ya can get a mate or your lass to help ya, try doing a bit on each corner going opposite sides. Just a bit at a time, dont forget to keep ya finger over nipple when the pumper is pumping.

Mate they are called "eezibleed" £13 odd from halfrauds. Attach the hose to your tyre and it uses the tyre pressure to blast the fluid out, worked well with mine when we couldnt get a pedal
