Nope, no o ring on the caliper bleed pot.
Also the yellow adaptor and grub/plug screw are for newer versions of calipers where there is no bleed nipple on the bleed port.
Love the DIY spacer!

Cheers, that has now been nipped up and my first disc brake hose replacement and bleed is done. Feels exactly the same as the rear one I lobbed straight on so will assume it has been done correctly.
Spacer came with the stuff from bleedkit.com via Wiggle. Was also party to the only error I made when I put all the oil in and depressed the lever without it being between the pistons :D

Paging @edscoble or other forum knowledge fountain...
I went ahead and DIY'd it this eve. Should have definitely heeded your 'minimal fuss' comment, but I'm glad I now know how to do it.
I have one quick question on the very final part. Logic dictates that the caliper bleed screw should have an o-ring like at the lever and the same as the bleed nipple. But neither of my ones (new in packaging) do.
Am I supposed to steal one from somewhere else, or does it for some reason not need one?
