http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad278/halgot1/ssklrbrakes001.jpg http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad278/halgot1/ssklrbrakes002.jpg I actually used the vacuum hose that goes from top of carb to petcock and attached it to the bleeder valve. Then that translucent plastic hose that is avail from Home Depot for a buck from the rubber hose to a beaker which had brake fluid in it. You can watch the brake fluid through the translucent plastic hose as the old dirty brake fluid and air are purged. It was a one man job though easier with two people. So, list of items: 1)translucent plastic hose from Home Depot. 1 BUCK 2)carb/petcock vacuum hose--just take off the KLR FREE 3)Quart of brake fluid. Actually a pint is fine if you have someone helping--then you won't spill/waste much. COST 7 BUCKS 4)2 cable ties to make sure air doesn't get in hose. 10 CENTS 5)Any Container to put hose in so air doesn't get in. COST OF CHEAP EASY BLEEDER KIT $8.10 though I wasted $2 of brake fluid doing it alone. Stainless steel brake line kit and ordinary tools. J#3
