Vacuum pumps can be bought at auto parts stores for $20-35 if I remember correctly. I have found that in some instances (ie bleeding dual caliper front systems that have an upside down "U" shape hose that connects both calipers) you almost NEED to use vacuum to suck out all air bubbles. I can imagine how much fun bleeding your ABS system will be/ has been. If anyone here plans on working on brakes more than once, do yourself a favor and get a vacuum pump!
