There is a number of ways to bleed the brakes by yourself, I like to use them Speed Bleeder fittings. So I take one out from the rear wheel of my truck and head out to the parts house

Looks like I need the 5/16th -24 fittings - got it.

Hit NAPA - all they got is the 3/8th - 24 ones

Hit Pep Boyz - they don't got any

Hit O'Reilly's - they only go the 3/8th - 24 ones

Finally find a set at AutoZone, cool got it

Come home, screw the first fitting in, swing around to the other side to screw in the other, what the heck, this one is the 3/8ths one, come to the front of the truck these are 3/8ths ones as well

What the heck the only 5/16ths fitting on my truck is that first wheel I tried ~ UNBELIEVABLE!
