Looking for some advice on one man brake bleeding kits. The only one I
have read about comes from Summit Racing for about $38.

Equus Hand Vacuum Pump and Brake Bleeding Kits Summit Racing

Has anyone tried one of these?

Get some Russell Speed bleeders. Super easy to do it yourself. I did all 4 in less then 30 minutes. Cheap too.

front and rear should be different sizes though.

You just replace your old bleaders with the russel bleaders. They have a check valve in them so you cant suck air back into the lines. All you do is losen the bleader like normal then hookup a hose and pump the brakes.

I have the Mityvac Brake Bleeder Kit which I purchased at Autozone for around 30 bucks. It works great but will give your hand a work out by the time you bleed all 4 corners. I think the speed bleeders are a great product also but if you are using those and don't have a spotter looking at the line you can't tell for sure when all the air is out of the lines.

Speed bleeders are great.
I have a set on my Ranger and another set in the works for the 'Stang.

What size bleeders do we need? Is it different for fox bodys and 94/95's? How do you completely drain the brake fluid? I wanna drain all mine and add in all fresh fluid and then bleed it on my 92.

Edit- I just clicked the link the guy above posted, thanks!
