: : A. What size rubber hose do i need?
: 1/4 inch inside or less. Get it flexible / soft so yu can force it over th ebleeed nipple easily.

:
: : B. Any specific type of brake fluid that i should use?

: I use teh blue German racing stuff, before that I used Valvoline synthetic brake fluid.

: : Following directions from the FSM but if anyone has any advice or tips, i'd love to hear them.

: I find a stubby wrench works well here (you get a larger swing so yu ca leave the closed part of hte wrench on the bleeder.

: Watch your fluid reservoir closely, it drains FAST when you are bleeding.

: Make sure you flush out all your old fluid by refilling at least three reservoirs once empty for the first time.

: Good luck,
: John
