Buy a self bleed kit from Halfords or any car parts shop.

So you don't know what the internal diameter of the hose is then? I don't need a bleed kit.

Is the search function not working? Or did it not throw any results?

I like passive/aggressive responses. They usually run longer and generate more mischief than straight-up rude ones, and they're easier to hide behind under the guise of faux surprise that they could be taken that way.

I don't mind one bit if anyone else wants to chip in with opinions or other edgy stuff. I don't bite. The original question's also still there for those who don't want to play.

As the thread is 8mm, looking at the picture, 'probably' 7mm ID will stretch over

Make up your mind

My initial response was supposed to be a polite way of suggesting to check the search facility, making the assumption that you were not completely lazy, and had tried and failed, since for some it has been known to fail in the past (or disappear completely!).
