The above link has the part numbers, I ordered mine direct from the site. They have line for bleeding to, I had been using some pretty hard clear plastic line that I had from something else. The new drain line is much softer and stays on the bleeder better. Also I ordered more sealant. I bleed the brakes many times a year and will put more sealant on here and there. I needed the C4 bleeder and the C5 bleeder for the front, if you have done the C5 calipers in the front remember to get two different kinds.
Weren't they like seven bucks each?
4 SB1010 for all C4 calipers.
2 SB1010 and 2 SB1010S for C4 and C5 calipers.
The old bleeders are 10MM, these new ones are standard. 3/8" if I remember right for the C4 and 7/16" for the C5's.

You usually have to start bleeding the system here if you change a master cylinder.

Doesn't matter either way, the aluminum caliper won't put up much of a fight. Use a breaker bar.

I just converted my brake lines to s/s and got the lines and the speed bleeders from Wilcox.
They sent me "original" speed bleeders and they work great. Although I had a buddy workign with me I would've been able to do it myself if I chose to because these speed bleeders work so well.
