Brake Bleeding

[Final Maxim]

just bought a small tube thing and the guy said to just use a small pot of something like a jamjar

will a coke can be ok?

Yep, anything to catch the old fluid is fine.

Isn't it useful being able to see the fluid as it comes out, hence using a glass jar?

 

[Final Maxim]

i'd stop... if it got too high <3

Something clear is best to use so you can see any air or debris in the system also allows you to see when the new fluid is coming through.

A compressor and pneumatic brake bleeder kit FTW

My compressor, loads of attachments and the kit only cost me about £120 and it's always coming in useful. Best buy for a home mechanic after the halfords 150pc socket set imo.

Ah - yes - assumed the OP would have a clear tube though...
