just from my experience, i've found that it's about as good to use someone with a strong leg
and a decent attention span to help you bleed your brakes.
i've used all the jars and bottles and vacuum doo-dads, but they don't seem to work for me
as well as someone that can keep good pressure on the brake pedal and is able to hold it
without their mind wandering from the task at hand. we used to use those old "mars lander"
pressure bleeding tanks, but that was in the old days of cast iron master cylinders, and you
could tighten the sh*t out of them and there wouldn't be any air leaks of any kind, and you
could get get a really hard pedal by yourself.
once you find a willing and trustworthy assistant, it doesn't take any longer to get brakes bled
than it does to hook up any gadgetry for a solo job.
OH! ! ! don't use any fluid that's already been opened! ! use only fresh fluid that you open
fresh for the job. and be sure to have enough on hand. and rags. . .
good luck
