If it's on the original master cylinder, then it's probably a good idea - 18 years of brake fluid which may not have been changed often enough is likely to have inflicted a fair amount of corrosion...

I used to have problems getting a really firm pedal until I got a pressure bleeder. Gunsons Eezibleed is OK (£20), Sealey's pressure bleeder is much better (£60). Unless you get a good flow, it's...

Yes. I've never bothered with it - I just use a huge 3/4" Norbar industrial torque wrench set to 450 Nm (with the 2079, it's a mere 350 Nm). Check the torques for your engine - they may be different....
