Only tool needed is a 10mm wrench for the bleeders.

Go to Lowes and get a couple feet of clear tubing that fits over the bleeder nipple. Put one end on the bleeder nipple and the other in a bucket. No mess to clean up.

Fluid still leaks around the threads when the bleeder screw is loose that's why I spray water on the calipers when I'm finished to neutralize the brake fluid which runs off with water with no damage done to the powder coating.

It's alot less mess then using no hoses at all.

Your right but you still need the water to neutralize the brake fluid.

And why do I have a $100+ bleeder system with all the coolness?
