Try some speedbleeders. Quick and cheap.

broken bleeder

one way you can bleed your brake if your bleeder is broken, is pomp your brake, remove your foot on the brake it and unscrew a title bit your brake ligne directly on your brake you will see bubble come out with brake fluids, screw back the nut, pomp your brake......, do that until you have no bubble that come out after move to the next brake.

p.s. sorry for the bad writing, im a french guy

I broke my rear bleeder and one way to fix it is to buy a new rear brake cylinder, price @ dealer ~10$ (in case you have drum brakes)
