I've seen the EZ-BLEED gadget in catalogs for quite a while, and always
wondered just how good of a job does this thing does on brakes. In the
catalogs, the thing looked like just a plastic jug that would take the
place of the soda bottle I have always used. From this description above
I can now see that there is more to it than that. Sounds like it should
work fairly well.
I had to replace the front brake hoses and rear wheel cylinders on my
69 MGB, and I've never felt that I really got all the air out of the
system even after repeated tries. Then again, maybe it's the master
cylinder starting to go bad on me.
Is this EZ-BLEED really EZ to use? Given 20 psi behind the fluid, how
to you avoid having fluid all over EVERYTHING when your done?
