I watched the whole thing this time, this guy knows what he's doing. I think he has a adding new calipers video as well. Seen it in the you tube list, didn't watch that one yet. He's pretty good though.

Just for reference, I bought a "one man brake bleeder" at Autozone for about $9 last night. I changed my front rotors and pads today and came on here for a totally different reason but saw this thread. The kit I bought at Autozone was a set of hose, bottle, check valve, and magnet. The hose was too small, and really so was the bottle. After seeing the hose wouldnt fit over the bleeder, I threw it out.

Cheaper to grab a Gatorade, then pic up a 2' piece of clear 1/4" hose from the hardware. Drink the Gatorade, drill a 1/4" hole in center of the cap, then an 1/8" hole for a breather right beside it. Works great, plus you get refreshment lol.

In fact, guy in the vid did the same thing I noticed.

^ I can vouch for that method. I watched his video just now and realized I did almost exactly the same thing. Only thing I did differently was change the bleeder screws in mine.
