Default I'll have mine with me

It should be about $100 to change the fluid if you have somebody else do it.

I've changed three cars in the past four weeks and really don't want to change another. I will stand up and pump up the bleeder and fill the resevoir for you....but you'll have to take the wheels off, hook up the hose, do the valves and dispose of the fluid.

I will be doing the track day on Friday day....then will be back at the hotel around 5....

I also have the 11mm flare wrench with me. You just need fluid.

Default Yes, if I don't forget it....but plan on bringing it with me.

Make sure you have fluid with you.

Default one-man bleeder $8 at pep boys

This is the kind that you hook onto the bleed valve and then go sit in the car and pump the pedal. But if you marry it to a manual vacuum pump then you have a vacuum bleeder. Autozone loans out vacuum pumps for free, afaik, and they sell a couple of interesting brake bleeder gizmos for under $10 too.
