Ive had to replace almost all the solid brake pipes on my daily run around for its mot, however its parked in the bay outside my house which is on a slight down bank,
so my question is does a car have to be on a flat, level piece of ground for bleeding the brakes?

one day boost will be mine!

i would say no because as you press the brake peddle down your forcing the liquid out along with the air bubbles. same goes if your using a one man bleed kit the tyre air pressure forces it out

Done now needs redoing lol

If your going to use a one man bleed kit give the peddal a few pumps to help said kit as they do in my experience require some assistance

I would agree with above, gravity should have no effect

Cheers, im bleeding them the old fashioned way, all though technically it is a one man bleed kit as the wife will be pushing the pedal. Lol
