You don't need long arms. Just use a bottle half full of brake fluid and a foot long piece of vacuum tubing. Do the bleeding procedure but put one end of the vacuum tubing in the bottle, making sure the end is always submerged. Slide the other end over the bleeder nipple(heh) then open the bleeder with a wrench. Go push the brake pedal down five times or so til the master cylinder gets a little low but don't let it run out. I typically find that about 15 pumps on the rear brakes and 10 pumps on the front completely flushes the lines. Repeat around the car from farthest from the MC to closest.
