Concerning the brake bleeding thread. I have found a trick that works well
for me in the area of bleeding brakes. I bought a long clear plastic tube
that fits tightly over the bleed nipple. I then loosen the nipple strip the
hose over it. The hose is long enough for me to sit beside the drivers seat
on the ground and work the pedal with my hand. The brake fluid comes to me
and I pump it into a can. The fluid is easy to see and by the time it gets
to me I am pretty sure all the air is out of it. Then just tighten the
screw and you're done. You can do all 4 wheels that way and it's a one man
job. Takes more fluid than other methods and you have to watch the master
cyl closely to not let it get too low.
