acd-tuning.com used to sell a bleeder kit, which basically hot wired the pump. I used one when I did mine, which made it pretty easy, but it looks like they're transferring the business to someone else and the kit isn't available at the moment.

And If I remember correctly, the holding-down-the-gas-pedal-method is really just a test to make sure the pump is functioning and also to build pressure in the pump. But to actually bleed it, you need to connect power directly to the pump so that it runs continuously when you open the the bleeder valve.

My issue is the pump turned on for 20 seconds the first few times. now it just turns on for a second. kind of hard to bleed when it turns on for a second.
