Rear brake is in need of a bleed and is also a bit of a pain to remove as the hose goes through the linkage etc. Ideally want to bleed it on the bike and have seen various ways of taping it to the frame to get the bleed screw vertical...
Sounded a bit of a ball ache so made this:

Take the caliper off, bolt one side onto the frame, bolt the caliper onto the other side, adjust angle to get bleed screw at the top, tighten the other bolt. Gonna give it a whirl tonight.

Yeah, I know...I'm keen to make some more but work is getting in the way. The tool only took me 10 mins to make (while my boss was out 😉 )
