Sorry for the stupid question.
what tools do i need to bleed brakes on a '69 bus?

Spanner to fit bleed nipple (7mm I think??), 350mm length of flexible and ideally see through pipe to fit on bleed nipple, container to collect waste fluid in (old jam jar / coffee jar etc), and most importantly an assistant to sit in van and press pedal as instructed.

Get yourself one of these, makes life a lot easier and does away with the bored assistant

WHS /\
I've used the eezi-bleed to good effect on the beetle but couldn't get it to seal tidy on the camper so used the one man draper kit (basically a jar and tube) and that did the trick. Just take your time and you will be fine. Nick.
