I say get one...no friend needed! Super easy to use. Fill with fluid, pump to correct pressure, attach drain hose to bleeder valve, slowly open valve and watch old fluid just rush out!. Close valve. Move to next valve. Get the correct order of bleeding by doing a search and the correct pressure for the bleeder before starting. Have rags handy to immediatly wipe any little drips you encounter. Your friend can then have a beer and watch instead of being under your dash!
