She will help, maybe with a little grumble but she is helpful and grateful. I had been contemplating a one person bleeder but it's just not worth the money right now... maybe next time around...

Any wife that is allowed to drive an Audi had better be willing to sit in the vehicle and pump the brakes while your bleeding them.
Make sure the master cylinder is full of fluid and have her press on the brake peddle. Open the bleed valve (with a small hose attached whose end is in a jar) and tell her to let you know when the peddle hits the floor, tell her to keep it pressed down. close the valve and tell her to pump the brakes a few times --Repeat this multiple times at each wheel making sure you refill the master cylinder.
If your wife isn't willing to help tell her that she will soon be driving a Yugo...and the cute blond at the office will be driving her Audi.
PS If you follow these instructions and she slaps you up-the-side-of-the-head Don't blame me --Your the one that married her! not me!
If you bleed the old fashioned way make sure you put a brick or two or something that will stop the brake pedal from flooring out. This can damage the seals in the master cylinder.
argg, the first caliper went fine then on the second one I stripped then broke off the nipple. So I guess I'll have a mechanic fix that and then finish the job. I suppose I should have him replace all of the nipples while he's at it.....
Just put a length of clear plastic flexable tubing on to the bleed screw nipple and put the other end in to a clear glass jar with a hole in the lid. Add a small amount of old brake fluid to the jar with the end of the plastic tube at the bottom. Locate the jar above the brake caliper and then open the bleeding screw and begin bleeding. When done bleeding, close the bleeding screw before removing the plastic tube.
