I would like to Finlay buy a brake bleeding kit, so I can bleed by myself, and get all the air out.
anyone have any recommendations?

I've had good luck with Mityvac.

Most all will do a good job. I bought an inexpensive one (below) and it has worked fine for a number of years. You can use the pump for many different diagnostic jobs as well.

I bought one from Sears that is almost identical to mityvac except it came with a case. It fell apart the first time I used it.

You can also take a long hose, and put it in a jar of fluid with the end submerged, and pump by yourself. Since it doesn't see air it will not suck air back in.

I'm a fan of speed bleeders. The bleed screws have a check valve in them so all you do is crack them loose, run a line to a catch pan and pump away. Keep an eye on the fluid, tighten the screw back up and move to the next one.
