I don't have a helper so tell me more about this one man bleeding kit.
All I could find was a plastic Mity-Vac for $30.00. They also had a kit
that included a hose and a bottle to catch the fluid, but you would
still need a pedal pumper or some way to push / suck the air bubbles
out. I looked at O'Reilly's and Auto Zone.
