Hmm... I've never seen them at typical "auto parts" stores, only race shops and race safety gear folks. Any chance there is someone like this in your area and open on a Sunday?

If you can't find one, I vote postpone. There's just no better way to flush the entire system than using a Motive power bleeder. Goes really well with a "replace the rotor" project (wheels are off, good access to bleed screws, etc.).

Good luck.

How did you get air in the brakes? I have had some issues with the clutch before but never the brakes wither with the pwr bleeder or pump/release.
