Have a bitch Complete pile of pi55

I bought the Gunson EeziBleed system a while to change the fluids on my baby. It's the one that uses positive pressure to replace/bleed the lines.

Firstly I had to source a replacement reservoir from the good folks on here, (thanks to @jerryt that this. An outstanding gent if there ever was one.) as the supplied caps are all round. So, cap sourced, hole drilled, cap fitted with all the required pipes and spare tyre for air pressure, and it just pissed brake fluid everywhere!

Ok, new diaphragm bought to make a good seal, middle cut out, fitted, tried again, brake fluid pissed out everywhere. Again.

Ok, plastic bottles cut up to form spacers to sit on top of the new diaphragm, with the middle cut out. Try again . . .

And yes . .


Fucking brake fluid pissing out of the cap!!!


Fuck it. I'm going to buy one of those vacuum pumps instead!

Seems a bit extreme to change the fluids on a baby.

Most gently pat their backs and things happen one way or another.

No need for any of that stuff just do it the old fashioned way!

My mate uses an Eezi bleed contraption in the shop & every time he is done pissing around with it I can bleed the brakes properly & get a ton of air out + the bloody things are about as reliable as a chocolate fireguard as you are finding out, yes doing it properly takes longer but at least the brakes work to full capacity

I have patented this rear master cylinder to front caliper bleeding aid.

Are you putting to much pressure through the Eezi-bleed? I think they recommend 14psi

Had one years ago, used very successfully on my cars, a BMW520i and a Spartan Kitcar but never felt the need to use it on my bikes. Don't know what happened to it but I suspect it's still sitting on a shelf in my Ex's garage.

Now either use a vacuum pump to bleed the brakes on my bike or, if I can't be bothered to set it up, just do it the old fashioned way with a length of clear tube & an old jam jar.

I thought that too. The instructions say between 10 -20psi, so after the first fail I dropped it to 10.

I dont mind doing it the old fashioned way but I cant reach the left caliper and brake lever at the same time and my back is far too fooked to be jumping up and down with various clamps!
