[QUOTE="efnfast, post: 16868733, member: 104733"] bleeding brakes by yourself is easy; you don't need speedbleeders or 2 people yelling 'pump pump hold pump pump hold' get an empty plastic water bottle; poke hole in bottle cap fill bottle up 1/5 of the way with brake fluid; run clear hose from caliper bleed nipple to bottom of bottle through the hole in the cap (make sure hose end is fully submerged in the brake fluid so it can't suck air up the line) open caliper bleed nipple take top off master cylinder pump brakes 10-20 times; check master cylinder; re-fill as it gets lower after a bunch of pumps close the bleed nipple and move to next caliper e-z ... takes like 10 minutes to do the car ... i was in awe the first time I did it as I thought you always needed to do the 2 person method or have tools if you were by yourself.
