FYI: Next Sunday, the 12th, I'm pullin the turbo on my MR and putting on some new goodies. If anyone wants to come watch, or make it somewhat of a mini-meet, you're welcome.

Anything like this will work. http://www.robogrip.com/products01.html
Just squeeze the brakepad against the caliper before you take it out. Another method is to take the pad out, then put it back in sideways and use it as a prybar to squeeze the pistons back in. But I always use the robogrip.
Oh yeah, this one is easy to forget, after you have replaced the pads and first time you start the car BEFORE YOU MOVE press the brake pedal a few times until it firms up. Before you pull the wheels off put a sticky note on the steering wheel to remind you. Because it is easy to forget and scary when you do.

Wait, are you talking a speed bleeder as in a special valve or as in the pressurized tank you attach to the reservoir?
I have never used the valves, but the tank works great.. I'm looking for one now. I don't remember who makes the one we have.
