Is there something that one can use to bleed brakes by one person. Lots of pedal and air.

You can buy a special tool that makes it a one man job. Not sure of the cost.

Bruce,

If you have hydro-vac on your big truck, you will need this pressure bleeder (a one-person unit that also works on non-hydra-vac trucks):

Here are other one-person options:

Wow,

You guys again. Very helpful. Tim, you knew where I was also heading with that question. Hydro-vac on the big truck.

Right category this time.

I have one of those I use at work, mine has the "universal adapter", which isn't so universal. Great tool, though. Easy to use and does a great job.
