I actually have a one person brake bleeder tool that I have never used before.

Bring your car and parts and we'll at least take care of yours. If someone else want's to stop by and get something done or help that would be great. fc_soldier sounds like he is interested in helping already.

We can take our time and go over everything in detail and you should be set.

What are your thoughts?

A group of us did this exact same thing a few months ago at Patrick's house. It was wrenches, rotors, verbal abuse and finally beer and pizza.

Have fun!
