I surely regret selling mine a long time ago. I never thought I'd still be in the SHO game.

Should rent one out with a deposit like the valve shim kits back in the day. That could help one off needs for a bunch of people. Just spitballing

I had one years ago, and sold it to Kirk. Honestly, unless you're changing out the abs unit, I'm not sure it matters much. That fluid stays sealed off, except for occasional abs use.

I never needed one until I needed one. then I didn't need it. although I may need it again at some point. all over the span of about 20yrs or whatever year they were going on ebay for super cheap

Unbolt the caliper and put a board about the same thickness of the disc in there, turn the caliper sideways such that the bleeder screw is still up but the piston is 90 deg to normal. Tap the caliper to dislodge bubbles. Have a helper pump the brakes and bleed it about three times.

On the flex hoses its often the bracket that supports it corroding on the inside crushing down the hose. In a pinch you can use a screwdriver to pry it open, but as several have said above the originals are well past design life regardless of mileage.
