One man brake bleeding kits!
Turbo Mini Forums

Has anyone bought a so called one man bleeding kit? Unfortunately I had to bleed my brakes on my own as no-one was around this weekend………
There fucking useless!!!!

I only lost about 30% of the air that was in the system. In the end I had to wait for the old man to come back and do it the traditional way……

Bare in mind I bought it on a Sunday, I’ll give you one guess as to where it came from lol

anyone else used one and had problems or success

these are the spawn of satan

The easibleed kits are useless!

If I have to bleed the brakes on my own I always use a piece of tube with a one way valve on the end that goes into the jar, works great!

I always find the Gunson Easibleed fabulous.
Just make sure you have very very very good seals to the master cylinders.

andy i have an easybleed you can try

ah cool, there sorted now but ill give you a shout next time :)

Thanks

I've got one of the one-way-valve types, works a treat for me every time TBH.

Im thinking of making my own now tbh, using a one way, non return valve. You can get there for about £3 from any fish shop, as they use them on bubble machines

Don't know why i didnt think of this in the first place

A friend was bleeding the brakes on his VW type 2 camper van at the weekend and decided to use an easi-bleed. To cut a long story short he had the same experience as everybody I know who has used one .... brake fluid all over his paintwork.

Shame, he'd only just finished polishing it after the paint job and it was shining like a new penny.

Oh well .... managed to save some of the paintwork ..... thought he was going to have to repaint the whole area.

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

Ive used the Easi-bleed loads of times...its a great product.

Just dont go daft with the air pressure.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

I just use a 5 foot long clear plastic pipe,either bleed into a bottle or back into the master

The old way Dangerous ...... well, nobody can say it doesn't work (so long as the open end is submerged of course)
