The systems are very similar and either procedure will work, for use with bleeder, http://www.ufpnet.com/DiscBrakes/BleedingInstructions/tabid/62/Default.aspx and manual method, http://www.ufpnet.com/Portals/0/PDFs/A-60,%2075%20_%2084%20Actuator%20Maintenance.pdf, page 24.

Don't know if it applies to your trailer but I was able to bleed mine by myself with a gutter curb. Here is the thread on it:

Thanks for all the info. I'll have to try and find a place in Australia that sells those brake bleeders or use the method that Ski-me uses.

You can make a simple bleeder device that keeps from having to close the bleed screw each time pumping the brakes up..
small hose that fits over the bleeder screw. Small bottle, fill teh cap and put the hose in to the bottom of jar. Little brake fluid in the bottom of the jar, jar higher than bleeder screw.
Crack the screw open and pump the master cyl until all bubbles are out.
Start with farthest wheel and repeat. Dont let the brake fluid run out in the master cyl.
