Hi All! Any Eze-Bleed experts out there? Your answers will come too late to
help me last nite as I struggled with it, but I'm sure I'll be there again
bleeding brakes. After asking around, I decided to try this Eze-Bleed gizmo
whilst rebuilding my brakes. Followed the instructions and tried it "dry" (no
fluid). Got air leaks around the cap. Tried adjusting the seal and
tightening harder--seemed better. Went with fluid (good 'ole Castrol) and it
quickly became "fluidus eruptis"--the bleeding part went great, but fluid pee-
d out profusely around the cap. Luckily the car is in "driver condition" and
not pristine, it just removed a little more paint from the mount shelf,
despite lots of paper towel! The subsequent clutch bleeding went perfectly
(small metal cap).
What'd I do wrong? Is this just another case of "great idea, poor execution"?
Thank goodness this wasn't a freshly painted show car!
