One banana job. Bench bleed a master cylinder first, as in this
brake cylinder: http://www.stainlesssteelbrakes.com/graphics/0460.jpg
then bleed as you tighten the fitting and you may get by without
bleeding the slave. Typical Universal Joint assembly pictured at:

The driveshaft u-joints are indeed a 1 banana job but the front
axle knuckle joints are at least a 3 banana job due to the rust
factor on the hub to knuckle connection.
