Default Stupid brake bleeding Q.

Fitting goodridge hoses this weekend and also got 2.5 L of new fluid. I assume I'll need to bleed the rears too - so whats the easiest way to do all 4 corners when you only have the bog standard jack?

Question

Borrow a trolley jack from someone who has one.

Otherwise, there's no EASY way, just get down and do it:

Try a local garage, it's the sort of job they do so easily on a ramp, and only charge a fraction of what you might think.

Worth paying for when the weather is crap?
