DIY Pressure Bleeder

Mon Dec 10, 2012 9:30 am

Hi All,
Need to bleed the dual servo brakes on my 2002 and have been told that a pressure bleeder is the only way to get a good result.
Instead of shelling out $100+ on a bleeder I found this idea:

Anyone tried this or similar?

Well there is a serious case of "comedy thumb" in that link

Looks like it would work a treat. But how much, will you save after buying all the bits?

Gunson do the "eazybleed" kit, its not profesional quality, but it does work, and I'm sure you could get it for less than $100.

I swear eazybleeds are like, £20 maximum.

They work off the pressure in a tyre, so they are technically a pressure bleeder.

I bought a Eazybleed years ago from Halfrauds and ive used it on countless cars, Really good bit of kit.

They are on fleabay for about £16 upwards

Parts for this would only amount to a few dollars but have looked at the Gunson kit and even shipped it is only a few dollars more. Might save the effort and buy a kit. The kits I found on Australian eBay were about $120 but this is probably overkill for my purposes.
Thanks for the advice guys
