hi moggymen, I have to change my rear brake cylinder as it appears to be stuck, I take it I have to bleed the braking system once i have finished.
therefore can anyone tell me if those brake bleeding contraptions are helpful or should i just get another pair of hands to help me, or importantly is there an easier way of doing it.
cheers Mungo '56 splitty

Those brake bleeding contraptions are helpful, if you're meaning ezibleed.

dont think that they do any tops to fit the easy bleed thing if i am wrong some tell me and let me know were to get them

It's not too hard to modify an existing master cylinder filler cap to fit the Eezibleed, but it took me a while to track down a replacement cap.

My easibleed system will work on any vehicle. It is my 10 year old grandson called Charlie.

I have to change my rear brake cylinder as it appears to be stuck,

Its always best to replace both sides at the same time.

We had a thread about this a few months ago I think its worth reading it.

I just stick a bit of plastic pipe on the nipple - run it down into a jar with a little fluid in - open the nipple, top up the master cylinder - and sit back with a mug of coffee. Sometimes it needs a first pump to get it going - then gravity takes over. Just keep the master cylinder topped up - and don't drift off to sleep!

That's what I do Roy only I have about 6ft of tube. If i am bleeding front I loop tube over wing mirror and when doing back I lift boot lid and feed it behind hinge. That way with about 2ft going uphill first you can see any air bubbles. Pump a few times then syphon takes over.

Good idea to watch the little bubbles- - may help to keep you awake!
