Strap the front lever down hard then hang the bike up so that the lever is above the caliper. That should force air to the top of the system (but not in to the reservoir). Leave it for a bit. Carefully take the bike down, hook up the bleed kit to the calliper and lever to push fluid up through it. This should take the air out through the lever.
I’d be careful with the quick suck bleed thing - the seal on the ebp isn’t that great and it could be sucking air in rather than out.
