Don't need 2 people, but it would make things quicker.

Install is easy. Take out old bleeders, screw these in. No leaking.

I have 'em. It can be a one person job. Also when I do it, I try to flush out all the old fluid, not just get rid of the air in the system. This is what I do;

1. Make sure the brake reservoir is full.
2. Open one bleeder up.
3. pump the brake pedal about 17 times, that's usually enough to almost empty the reservoir. I say almost, DO NOT empty the reservoir, just get it down to the low level.
4. Lock up the bleeder,fill up the reservoir.
5. Pump brake again to make sure things feel solid and no air is left in the system.

Then onto the next brake, repeating steps 1 thru 5. You should do it in this order, too;

Right Rear
Left Front
Left Rear
Right Front

Make sure you get GOOD speed bleders like Russell, especially if you have SS brake lines.

The HELP! brand that you can get at any Pep Boys or Autozone SUCK A$$!

I literally blew out two of them just flushing out the break lines in my driveway.
