So its an idea to have a tube of some sort fitted over the nozzle and into a container which the brake fliud will drain into... Hope this helps!

JustGav Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 2 man job really to do it right. Man 1 - undoes the nipple, and holds the container, man - 2 pumps the brakes. (Few good pumps until the air bubbles clear or fresh fluid is visible), on the final pump hold down the pedal then man 1 closes up the nipple. Repeat this round the car, start with the rear passenger side, then rear drivers side, then front passenger side, and finally front drivers side. If you are car has ABS you will need to prime the ABS system by clicking to ignition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I used a little gadget called easybleed but had to modify the cap to fit on our reservoir, you connect it to tyre and it pressurizes the brake system meaning a 1 man job and less chance of buggering your master cylinder seal.
