Easy bleed brake bleeding kit help

[edde]

I need to bleed the brakes on my car but when I put the tyre to the connection fluid leaks out where you screw the reservior to the attachment on the kit (if that makes sence). It doesn't matter how tight I stick it on it still leaks.

I've even tried it on the diesel and the thing still leaks out round where the reservior cap screws on.

There obviously something wrong but I just cannot work it out.

Anyone any ideas?

is your tyre pressure too much mate... otyher than that its a bit of a flaw, cos my kit did it also. when i stared the thing upo the excess dot fluid smoked like bayliss car.

I thourght that but the tyres down to 14psi or so now. surly it shouldn't be that bad.

Just done a check with another pressure gauage and the tyre has just 3psi in it. The tyre realy is flat now.

yeah the seal is never too good.. tighten it up on the master cylinder... i gave in with mine and took it to the garage.

Apparently they are all shit, best way to do it, ive been told is two people, a length of washer tubing and a glass jar

agreed lunner
thats the way i did the first time and it was very good

Unfortunatly doing it with the two person kits isn't an option I've flipped the seals in the master clinder. I think I'm just goting to get someone to stick a new master cylinder in trying to flip the seals with this easy blleds impossible.
I did just find out that I'd forgotten to stick the subber seal in the screw in top but it still made no difference. I even plumber tapped the thread.

Mine need bleeding, and looking at the problems ppl have, i think im going to get the garage to do it.

We have been using Eazibleed kits for years. Never had any problems.

I know mine just seems to leak like mad from where it attaches to the reservior.
Have you modified yours at all?

edde, master cylinder change makes a good difference.

i changed mine.... just pay £20 and get the garage to do a full dot 4 flush

Have to get someone to pop round to do it the cars not insured or got road fund. They cna change the rad on the diesel when there here (I'm lazy).

Mine isnt modified at all. Had it for years now and never really had any sealing problems.

Get the occasional little dribble coming out, but nothing major.
