When bleeding the brakes we had to remove all the tyres to get access to the bleed nipples on the end of the brake flexi hose. The reason we were doing this was because my brake pedal was spongy / slack, so i thought there might be air in the brake system. Back to the bleed nipple, all you have to do it make sure you have a bleeding bottle ( a bottle with tube submerged in brake fluid so you dont draw air back into the lines). Once you have the tube/bottle on the nipple you undo the bleed nut and get someone to pump the brake pedal a few times. On the last pump you want to hold the pedal on the floor while the other person tightens the bleed nut. ( tools used were basic spanner set and rattle gun )
After that was done we tightened my alternator belt, because it was loose and squeaking when under load ( multiple items on ) and found out why my reverse lights weren't working which was just a plug not plugged in.
Once I was done with my car I watched the others and figured out how to measure engine components for ware, with the micro meter and vernier gauge.
