It's a pain in the arse doing it on your own. You have to pump the pedal slowly and pull it back up by hand a few times then run round and bleed out.. it can take ages.
If you can find a long enough piece of clear tubing, put it over the bleed nipple and dip the other end in the fluid reservoir. Make sure the hose is always in fluid and keep it topped up while your missus/mate/neighbour pumps the pedal until there are no more bubbles in the line.
Don't let the fluid level drop, if the abs pump goes dry you have more problems.
