Changed the brake fluid.
I have a Gunson pressure bleeding kit, a pipe with anti siphon valve and a Mityvac vacuum pump but decided to use none of them and went for the most basic method possible - using a plastic pipe and glass jar. It's so simple with much less risk of brake fluid spilling / leaking in the engine bay and is a one man operation providing the end of the pipe is always submerged in the jar.
I'd gone round the bleed nipples the previous day and freed them off with a hex socket - 7mm and 11mm (I think)
Also checked the bleed sequence and it's - rear drivers side, rear passenger, front drivers and front passenger side, which equates to starting at the furthest distance from the ABS pump and finishing at the nearest.
I also decided not to siphon off the old fluid from the master cylinder and just pumped it through instead - saving another messy job with extra kit to clean up.
With the first bleed nipple just cracked open off I went. 15 pumps of the pedal then topped up master cylinder and checked for air bubbles collecting in plastic pipe. A good light behind the pipe really shows up the smallest of bubbles. It took several goes before I was happy all the old fluid had been purged.
There is no real need to tighten the bleed nipple while the pedal is fully down since the pipe is full of brake fluid and can't draw air but habits of a lifetime are hard to break. I have a long speed cramp, reversed one of the jaws so it became a pusher and with the upper jaw under the steering wheel, used it to hold the pedal fully down.
It was a totally stress free job with no wife involvement and no shouting
This is the youtube clip that took me back to basics - I did not bother with the fancy bottle though
