Finished fitting new brake pipes today on my van. It also has had fitted new front discs pads and calipers. Bleeding the system was fairly problem free. I use one of those Ezeybleed kits. It worked very well. Just a road test to do now. Good days work :D

I used one of them Eezzybleeds too, but the cap kept popping off pouring fluid everywhere:mad: luckily it didn't damage the paint. Turns out that me master cylinder had seized and wasn't letting the fluid down to the pipes:rolleyes: bought a new m/c and bled it the old two man way in the end :laugh:

I have had the same with the ezibleed kits, the seal on the cap is crap and after using it two/three times it won't seal at all, and just spits brake fluid everywhere :disagree:

i always rap mine in a old rag to try and catch as much as i can when it does finally pop

Eezebleed is great you can do whole job on your own in minutes wheels still on and no worrying about resevoir running dry.

Nothing wrong with the easy bleed kit, just that there are 2 caps nearly the same in the kit, make sure u get the right one or u make a mess, like I have done before :(

Just pressure test it before you put the juice in. I tested mind at 25 Psi before hand and then used it at between 15 & 20 Psi
