I did it myself. If you want to do it, I would recommended the
following components:
1. 2 liter garden sprayer: Hudson, model 60136, UPC code 029925
601369, Lowes SCU code 126 722. Ask for Hudson Rose & Garden model
60136 (white) or 60166 (colors). Call 1-800-9-SPRAYER for the name of
a dealer near you.
2. Tygon Braid-Reinforced Food and Dairy PVC Tubing 1/4"ID 3/8"OD
3. ABS-Case Gauge ±2% Mid-Scale Accuracy 1-1/2" Round Dial, 1/8" NPT
Male Center Back, 0-15 Psi $8.90 Each
4. Brake Reservoir Cap
5. 1 tire valve from WalMart or same store.
6. One roll of Teflon tape
7. 2 hose clamps.
These are few images, which I made, when Bleeder was ready to go:

Good luck!

Hello,
1988 Wagon 300 TE w/ABS
This weekend I changed all 4 caliperss, new Pads, new Rotors.
I tried bleeding the system and I get nothing but air.
I found a loose brake line to a front caliper and tigntened it.
I still get no pedal while trying to pump and bleed.
Today, I put in a new Master Cylinder and filled the brake lines from the
master cylinder end before connecting the master cylinder, I used a fluid
injector.
Hooked up the master cylinder and tried to bleed the system. The brake
fluid I had loaded the system with pumped through and now all I have is air.
I cannot find any leaks. This is the first ABS system I have worked on and
do not know if that is causing me difficulties or not.
Has anyone had similiar difficulties with a `88 or so 300 series with ABS?

Your problem may be that you don`t have enough fluid in the brake
master cylinder. If it`s anything like on my `92 300E then it has 2
chambers & you need to make sure you have enough fluid in to reach both
chambers, otherwise the empty one will allow air into the system.
Let us know if this helps.
