those cheap one man brake bleeder thingies...

[Spidey2721]

You know what I am talking about. Its some different size tubing with a smallish clear bottle and a magnet. I would most likely never have bought it myself. My dad was out and about and I asked him to bring me some brake fluid and some tubing. He brought me one of these "one man thingies". I thought yea right, and my buddy laughed at it too. It actually worked. The key is to stick the bottle directly above and as high as you really can with the tubing you have. The air bubbles purge into the bottle easier that way. I had to pump the brakes about 5 times, get out, walk around and look at it, empty the little bottle, check the reservoir, then go pump again... over, and over, and over, but it actually worked I am pretty surprised. Would rather have had a second person but what can ya do. Ok its 7 am and I am a little slap happy so going to go clean up the tools and get some sleep.
