In lieu of a power bleeder, go to the hardware store and by a garden
sprayer, the kind you can put liquid in and pump up to pressureize. Put a
fair amount of brake fluid in it and attach it to the bleed nipple with
some
tubing. pump it up and then let it spray (actually will just flow), If you
use a long enough tube to attach it, you can stand up and watch the
reservoir. Soon, fluid will fill the reservoir, and voila, you're done.
I've
done this successfully on my 924S, 944, and 928 S4.
+1 on replacing both cylinders, even if one isn't bad, it will be soon
enough and they are not expensive.
