Glue in a vale and even a bike pump will do. Open the bleed screw on one calliper and fit a clear plastic pipe emptying into a spare can. When fluid stops moving , close the bleed and pump up the pressured. Pumping in air on top of the fluid should push fluid through the booster and into thee calliper. Keep pumping, opening and closing the bleed screw and replenishing the fluid in the reservoir. When there are no bubbles in the fluid evident in the clear plastic screw, that calliper is bled. Repeat on the other side. Text me if you require more details.
