Brake Line and Clutch Bleeding

[tonyvda]

I've used the same one man kit for the last 15 years to bleed my brakes and it works extremely well.

Its a kit called "Gunsons Easibleed" It uses the air pressure in a spare tyre to pressurise a remote reservoir full of fluid that is in turn connected by a tube and a pressure sealed cap to the top of the master cylinder.

You simply replace the standard master cylinder cap with the temporary cap supplied with the kit, fill up the remote reservoir, connect up the air pressure tube on the top of the remote reservoir to the valve on a spare tyre and then you go around all the brake calipers opening the bleed nipples in turn until no more air bubbles comes out or you can see the colour of the new fluid coming through.

Works like a dream and no more shouting at the wife from under the car " push down slowly, hold it, now let it up slowly," I now keep that sort of dirty talk to the bedroom..

Cheers,

Tony
