u need a spanner, a friend to help. also a bleed kit or a bit of pipe and a jaw of brake fluid,
then you fill up brake fluid res, leave the top off, put the pipe ./ bleed kit on the bleed nipple. and the pipe going in to a jaw of oil, ghet your friend to pump the break 3 or 4 times and hold foot down as you undo the bleed valve and look for bubble appearing in the jaw of oil. then tighten up and then your friend can release break, do this untill the break feels solid on both sides.

its a 2 person job, basically one has to undo bleed nipples at each wheel while the other pumps the pedal, once the airs out you do the nipple up whilst fluid is being pumped out to prevent air getting sucked back in

Takes far to long & you risk ruining the master cylinder seals if the person pressing the BRAKE pedal goes full stroke
Easibleed makes it a simple one person operation

Basically you fill the reservior and the bottle with brake fluid, then one pipe goes on a cap with fits on your reserviour, then another pipe fits over the bleed plug. The bleed plud one has a switch similar to what goes on your tyre to blow them up, you click that into place and it does its thing.

You MUST drop the tyre pressure down to around 10 psi on the tyre suppling the easibleed with air else you can damage the seals in the master cylinder

About £6 each from stealership (0000442813) and shouldn't need more than a 1 litre (to allow for bleeding) bottle of DOT4 fluid
