That is, unless you get one of these "One Man Bleed > Kits".>>> Not so...put a piece of hose on the bleed nipple and run it into a separate container with brake fluid in it...with the hose submerged in brake fluid....you can then just pump the pedal with the nipple open while feeding fluid into the main resovoir until you get all of the air out or until you replace all of the fluid ...you don't need 2 people. this makes the annual cahnge of brake fluid not such a miserable task.
