Default is getting a brake bleeding device worth it?

I'm going to my first HPDE soon and alot of people suggested changing the brake fluid, so I will. I've never done this before so I want it to be as painless and error free as possible. So, is it worth getting one of those bleeding devices or should I just do the pump and shout method with a friend. If so, what king should I get, will the regular Autozone kind do?

While on brake topic, I will also be gettin axxis ultimates for the front, while doing all this should I invest in some SS brake lines? Thanks in advance guys.

Pete

makes it alot faster just pumping away with an autozone brake bleeder, but you can do it with a buddy easily, just takes a lil longer.

Just depends how much time you want to spend on it.

speedbleeders by yourself.

or just with a friend. both are pretty simple. takes 20-30 minutes if u use handtools on the tires. make sure you use a flare nut wrench. do NOT use any regular wrench to loosen the 10's. they will strip.

also get a small tube and a botttle. Put the tube over the nipple on the brake valve and put the end of the tube into the bottle. You will not have brake fluid going all over the place.
