I use either a small bit of hose, a jam jar and an assistant, or I use a mitivac vacuum bleeder. I've tried a gunsons easibleed and a bit snap on industrial one and didn't get on with them.

Cheers for the offer Jake. I was tempted to go with what Nate said as it's the cheaper option
. Will certainly call you if I need it though. Cheers

dot 4 and buy it in 5 litres as you will lose loads in the bleeding process that you cannot reuse

I use this sort of set up but I still have someone in the car pressing the brake pedal while I open and close the bleed nipple. With the hose connected it stops brake fluid going every where and you can see the colour and any bubbles in the brake fluid as it comes out.
1l is plenty if you are using this sort of set up, you will need more if using a pressure bleeding system.
I would spray some penetrating oil on the bleed nipples to start socking in.
