Brake bleeding pipe.

If you are going to do the job yourself, I would suggest a proper bleeding kit, something like sykes pickavant with a non return valve so you can pump the brake only to bleed.

If you have a helper you can bleed with just a tube with the helper pumping the brake on your command and you opening and closing the bleed nipple with a spanner.  

. A helper is no problem. I really don’t mind buying a kit it’s just that I’ve never used one and employed the old method. 

Thanks. 

I find the old method works very well provided your helper sticks to your up and down commands on the brake pedal and you can operate the bleed nipple lock/unlock with spanner effectively. You are also on hand to make sure nothing goes astray and pressure in the tube is limited. Pays to check all bleed valves prior to this process and soak in easol or similar if corroded up.
