Hi ppls

has anyone on the UK side tried the gravity bleed method with good results?

did my fluid but just doesn't feel the same! should have left it...but Gravity gets you solid pedal apparently.

just after a thought on it with real experience.

cheers

 

I've tried it a couple of times. Didn't seem any better than using a pipe with a valve.

 

Using the old fashioned method both times it was not quick, but was ok in the end, had to be patient to get every last bit of air out, for some reason i had most problems with near side front.

Oh old fashioned method, my old piece of rubber pipe a jam jar a ring spanner and a muppet to do as they were told, up, down up down down up down up down and on and on

 

Use a pressure bleeder - easy peasy.

 

I have a little bit of travel then pedal is firm. Maybe its just me I swear it as firmer before...

What pressure system do you use? All the ones have screw caps. Only one I see is eezibleed with the adapter, anyone have experience with it?

 

I bought mine from USA when they didn't have a similar one in UK. You can buy something similar now here - universal adapter should enable you to do the Japanese cars but make sure you ask them 1st as I am not going to vouch that they work as the make is slightly different.

Eezibleed doesnt work.I modified an OEM cap Dixon sent me and it still didnt work.I also bought a hand vaccuum pump and that didnt work either.So I resorted to Gravity bleeding.I fitted a full set of new brakes and flexis and gravity bled with no problems.

 

I'm a big fan of gravity bleeding. Not fast, but I've never found a better way to get all the air out. Most common mistake with it is opening the bleed nipple too much.

I think the big mistake people make with the pipe with valve method is opening the screw too much. It only needs the bare minimum.
