Reply to "Tricks to avoid asking for help...."

figuring out how to do things by my self AT HOME has been the norm for me. even how to do things with less physical strenght in the last few years.

for your specific task,
the vacuum pulling brake bleed kits
Mechanical advantage/leverage. cheap cable come a long and some floor anchors
Looong test leads.

in comparison to your observations of how teens avoid helping, I recently "contracted" two teens to clean and keep up around my place. watching them wrestle trying to load a large item into the back of the truck or hook up impliments to the tractor quickly goes from amusiment to aggrovation then concern.

My last, exciting "doing it by myself" was taking 5177 off the rotisseria. in that case luck played a bigger part than ingenuity
