EEZIBLEED
Well, EEZEBLEED it's not. What am I doing wrong? Today I thought I would bleed my brakes the easy way so I thought. Tested the EEZIBLEED to 20 psi and all was well, filled the container up re coupled to the spare wheel at 15psi. Round to the nearside back wheel, undo the bleed nipple and hey presto about 100mm of dirty fluid came out and thats it. Tried pumping the pedal as well as Ezzibleeding to no avail, the nipple is free and fluid comes out. It's turned into a two man job again. Am I doing something wrong?

In a word – Yes, but I don’t know what. Could you explain exactly what you have done to the brakes as well as how you connected the Eezibleed? And how did you test the Eezibleed to 20 psi?

EEZIBLEED
Geoff, Today I enlisted some help and bled the brakes.The back ones would only bleed using the eezibleed if I also used the tried and trusted two man version.I think the pressure reducing valve comes into play at the rear and will not let you bleed the Eezibleed method.The front ones work fine with the eezibleed.I tested to 20psi with no fluid in first and then reduced to 15psi in the spare and then put fluid in the container.The brakes are now fine.The Eezibleed will not fit the clutch Master cylinder so that will be a 2 man job another day.Please give me a call I will be around after 8.30pm Alan

Good news; I have been scratching my head trying to figure out what was wrong so I’m very pleased you’ve solved the problem. I’ll save the call until you need help.
