I do them myself on the race car... using a decent bleeder kit
I use a Toledo one , its easy peasy

I also have a power bleeder kit for late model cars with ABS module
(along with things like EBA or similar) which still give a soggy pedal
after manual bleeding.. but that is a 2 man job

Club circuit racing...the best fun you can have with your pants on

First get a thing to suck out the brake oil tank beforehand then top it up with new oil then I have just pulled out the valve starting from the longest line then go to each wheel letting it drip out and then when you see a different colour if so and then put the valve back in. it works ! I first tried it with my dirt bikes then I thought I would try it with my ABS car and no problems at all, such was spot on, it just took longer and not to mention when you have some dumb c pumping the peddle or that you may f up the piston if you have an older car that some idiot did not change the brake oil every 2 years.

On 2 older cars that I first bought back in the 80's when I drained the brake oil what was in the tank, there was some slimy glop like snot like in it that I had to wipe out with a rag to get rid of such, so I get rid of oil in the tank first before draining such.

My Father in law has a bleeder kit if I want to use that but I have the time to just let it drain out at home.

So it's just me and I know what I am doing, so no one to get pissed off with.
