Bleeding brakes

[stevetier]

Does anyone know the size of tubing I need to fit of the bleed nipples and where I can possibly get it from?

Halfords, euro car parts etc, all do a brake bleed kit for a few ££££. Its a small diameter tube, that streaches over the nipple

just use a bit of surplus boost hose into an old bottle.

this is easiest/cheapest. old jam jar, 2 holes punched in the lid one with the hose in, sorted.

Thats a pretty good idea. I've always used a plastic bottle and the thing never stays up when the tube is trying to move it around so you have to hold it while actuating the nipple.

if you make the hole in the lid smaller than the pipe it holds it in, and the other hole lets air out. also if you use clear hose you can watch the bubbles coming out and helps a load to tell when ALL of the air is out, not just most of the air.
