My brake system needs bleeding, especially the rears which are discs.
Done it once before on my corsa,but going to struggle to get anyone to help me as theyre all at work!!
You can get kits especially to use for one person cant you?

I'm sure there are cheaper alternatives though.

iv got the expensive one from halfords- its the gunsons one- i can say its much better than 2 person bleeding as you can bleed much more fluid quickly without a drop of air going in the system- get one bought!!

bought one from halfrauds for 16quid, you connect it to a spare tyre to pressurise it?
sound like the one??
didnt get that far as the bleed nipple was already snapped from the previous owner on the one side which i replaced yesterday, went to start on the other one and the bleed nipple snapped!!
think whoever did them before overtightened them as theyre only soft
so spent the whole evening un-seizing my spare caliper and rebuilding it with the best of both calipers!! will try again tomorro,
got a litre of dot 4 oil, that better be enough!!!

use around 15-20 psi of pressure max or else it will leak air around the resevoir cap
