Bleeding is super easy once you get the basic idea down. SRAM is honestly the most finicky in its process, especially if you’re trimming hose and messing with their barb and olive. There is no better hose cutter than this one as it uses a razor blade and is quick to use. http:// Jagwire - Hydraulic Hose Cutter Bicycle Repair Tool |Easy, Clean Cutting, Steel Blades | Alloy or Plastic Body https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003RLCB3S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_E8YT9H5MQ3BEY53JY8T1 I also use this for pressing in the barb. http:// Jagwire Needle Driver, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003RLJFZU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_NVC2CRR9ZDQ7645W9Y8K?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Of course you can do everything without these tools, but they’re so nice to have. I actually just did a gravity bleed/flush on my rear brake tonight after lubricating the piston seals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
