It is, cos you need the pipes to put on the bleed valve on the calipers and a little pot to catch the fluid in, it stops you accidently stripping your paintwork...

don't get any brake kits, waste of money.
*ust get someone out to pump the brakes as it says in haynes and wait for bubbles go away..

only really need brake fluid and a plastic seethru pipe, (i used the pipe from the fishing tank its ok cos the fish died ages ago)

ur mate must have used a bleedin kit if he did it on his own.

best to bleed ALL four corners in the right order (check haynes for order)
