I got myself in a tis-wos the other week when I couldn't undo the top bleed nipple in my front brake master cylinder.
I had a little bubble in the top that just wouldn't go!
The solution?
Unbolt the reservoir, unbolt the lever and tilt it so that the point where the reservoir hose enters the master cylinder is the highest point.
Squeeze the lever a few times and hey presto, the bubbles rise up and into the reservoir!
Took literally 5 mins to do and jolly useful to know if you can't get at the bleed nipple.
