I am in the process of putting a rebuilt and hopefully cured wheel cylinder back onto my BT7. God, that's an awful job. Anyhow, I shall have to bleed the system when I've finally got those dear little clips to line up. </div>

Recalling past battles in that area, I dug up a note which I'd made for myself some time back. I seem to recall that this paragraph is not in all of my BMC manuals so the advice within may not be available to all concerned. My car is a '62 so it's fair to assume
that the relevant threads are a bit worn...........I use this method along with a Gunson's Eezibleed and it seems to work.
<b><i>I recall that the Eezibleed is much more effective and the process much more manageable if one has the donor tyre inflated to considerably less psi than advised in the destructions.</i></b></div>

“If the bleeding of any cylinder continues without success for a considerable time, it is possible that air is being drawn in past the bleeder screw threads. In such cases tighten the bleeder screw at the end of each downward stoke* of the pedal and allow the
pedal to return fully before re-opening it. Close the bleeder screw finally during the last pedal application.” (+/- 2014)</div>
