I got a brake bleeder kit from Autozone for around $3.00
Its a hose,nipple adapter and bottle. The bottle has a magnet
on it to stick on the autobody. Kind of a problem with our
GMCs. I found a spot on the frame to stick it to. Blead the
front brakes in less then Five minutes.After I had replaced
the front brake lines. I think I also replaced the rear
brake lines, But can't remember.
