Used an easybleed and the guide yesterday, and was like a walk in the park (for a change)
The bleedkit does leave the reservoir topped up full, when finished.
I used this to get some out, and get it back to the advised level (just the top part)

Does anyone know what torque is required for the front calliper bleed nipples? Cheers

Nipped up is the correct torque.

Seriously though, just gently nip them up and it'll be fine.

Do I not pump the brakes or anything, just let the pressure bleeding push it round?

  If you're talking about using a pressure bleeding device, then no you don't need to pump the brake pedal.

I want to replace my old brake hoses with some braided ones I've had lying around for several years .

 

Is it OK to just drain the fluid out of the calliper or is there a more technical method (I have an Easybleed)?

[sford]

I wouldn't drain the caliper. Simply remove the old hoses one at a time, reattach at the car end (not caliper) and bleed the fluid to fill the hose, then attach to the caliper. Do this all around and then go about bleeding all four corners. That will introduce the least amount of air into the system.
