“one man bleeder kits.”

In 1964, that meant pulling a vacuum line from a neighbor's car, putting some brake fluid in a baby food jar, connecting the tubing to the brake bleed valve with the other end under the level of the brake fluid in the baby-food jar, and when the bubbles stopped coming out, the air was out. Close the valve, and send your brother on a test drive.

Have they improved that procedure? Or just buffed up the advertising?
