I don't recommend using the ez bleed with silicone. It will force air
bubbles into the silicone fluid (on a microscopic level). This makes the
fluid less effective and you will have less travel in the slave cylinder
compared to the travel of the master cylinder. Silicone is known for
saving paint and not absorbing moisture but the lesser known fact of air
absorption is usually not discussed.
If you must use silicone bleed it normally. I depress the pedal and use
a prop rod between the seat and pedal/bleed/repeat process or beg my
wife or Mark Pruitt to help me.
