The "One-Man Brake Bleeder"?
http://www.partsamerica.com/productd...egoryCode=3378

Is it worth a ****? Just did brakes and emptyed the master cylinder wtih a turkey baster. I'm sure I got a few air pockets in there and I wanted to flush the old crap anyway so I could drop in the new clean synthetic fluid I picked up. I live in the middle of nowhere and my nearest bud that could help bleed em out is an hour away. I figured I could just do it myself if this tool actually works. It says to hook it up then submerge it in fluid in a jar or something then pump the brakes until the air bubbles are out. Thats fine and dandy but if I'm in the car doing the pedal how the hell do I know if the air bubbles are out? Will they sit in the jar long enough for me to go back and check to see or something? Thanks.

One man bleeding is pretty easy.

1). Take a jar and fill it about 1/2 way (big jar or milk jug) with brake fluid
2). Put a clear hose from the nipple at the first caliper and put it under the fluid
3). take the cap off the brake fluid resivoir and fill it up
4). Turn on the car, loosen the caliper nipple a few turns then pump the brake 3-4 times
5). Refill the resevoir and check the clear hose for bubbles
6). Once the hose has no bubbles your good to go, tighten the nipple nut and move to the next caliper, follow the recommended bleeding order, which I think is closest to the resevoir to the farthest (front driver, front passenger, back driver, back passenger) could be wrong.

Have a second person makes the job easier but bleeding brakes is simple once you've done it. Just take your time and get all the bubbles out. As for the one man kits, they are money better spent on other tools.
