Although spending a little extra on a tool that will also vacuum bleed the system will save you the OOF approved fondling of hoses for 20 minutes...

That was what I used :).  That said, after Project TB2, I did have millions of spare caps ;D

I have a variation of this...

Just need a suitably suitable compressor to be able to vacuum fill.
