Westfield Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Anyone got / used one? I have seen them on Ebay for £25 and wondered if it was worth buying one? I already have one where it uses the tyre to pressurise a container with the brake fluid in but a couple of cars I have tried it on have different types of caps to those in the kit. I love my Elise!

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Prefer to blow, rather than suck !! You can buy different caps - Gunson do a multi-fit cap kit for the Ezi-Bleed.

Paul Deslandes Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Main advantage of suck rather than blow seems to me to be that its much less likely that you'll get a fluid leak from around the top of the reservoir. The Easibleed fits quite nicely on the Caterham brake cylinder but not so well on some others that I've had a problem with, resulting in a leak. Someone suggested recently (it might even have been you Ian) that you shouldn't put fluid in the Easibleed bottle but only to keep the reservoir topped up to avoid trouble.

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Wasn't me that suggested it, but agree it is a good idea, as I had a leak and overflow ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DohNut Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Really good vacuum bleeders are I think superior, I understand that Ford (and others) use them to help fill a dry system, the advantage being that you are more likely to get fluid into all those nooks and crannies around the hand brake adjusting mechanism if the air has been removed by vacuum. Even when refreshing a system the tendency is for a trapped air bubble to expand which has got to help its removal compared to compressing it. In the real world the vacuum will not be perfect from the pump and the pressure is being applied in the wrong direction for the seals so they may start leaking outside air into the system. from the seals (m/c piston etc.). but I have not tried one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbirdman Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Easy to use and convenient. Not sure if they give any better result than an easybleed though. Matt Life begins at 10,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
