See ricpin066 on Youtube for a good segment on how to make a one man bleeder out of a bottle, metal tube, and stopper and then shows how to use it. Most of his work is on Saturns, but he is good and well worth watching for his technique.

I wish RicPin would be so kind as to do a segment on how to replace the B body fifth brake line, the one over the differential, and how to replace the upper mounts on the rear shocks. That's without removing the body from the chassis.
 
RichPin is the man!

4DoorSS, yes , Rich did mention why he smeared grease on the bleeder. Take another listen. This guy is a good mechanic. He does all this work in his back yard shop and does all his filming while he is working on the car. He is one of the best at the photography while working. You can tell from his heavy Boston accent and the constant Boston AM rock station in the background where he is from. That plus the heavy salt corrosion on every part of the suspension! I know he works a lot on front wheel drive cars, orphaned cars at that!? Because he is working and filming alone, he has come up with several devices to make his single mechanic jobs possible. He should have emphasized more about filling the M/C initially and keeping it full at all times during the bleeding.
