im going to bleed my brakes today for the first time as the car has been in bits for the last 8 mounths and i intend on using my easy bleed kit that will put about 30 psi in the lines . can any one tell me if this is ok iv done lots of breaks in my time but never a 3dr cosworth

 

I tried using an eezibleed kit with nasty consequences. First time i tried using a fully inflated tyre 30psi and the cap blew off and squirted brake fluid all over the engine bay.

I never actually got a decent peddle using the kit (dropped the pressure to 20psi) The original way of getting a mate or your missus to pump the brake is the only way i'd do it in the future.

 

just get a mate to help you do it the oldfasioned way, it doesnt take a sec to do

 

Ive just done the brakes on my fiesta that has been rebuilt so had no fluid anywhere. Using the pedal only i couldnt get any fluid around the system. I ended up using an easy bleed and within minutes had fluid at all four corners.

 

if you've got a cossie with abs don't use the eze bleed kit

you need to do the rears first with the ignition on and someone pressing the pedal to get the rear lines to open (fluid gets pumped there so you just open the nipple until you get clean fluid through, just rememebr not to let the resivour go dry or let the pump run for more than about 30 seconds at a time without letting it cool down inbetween) and then do the fonts as per pumping the pedal, opening the nipples inner first then outer and then inner again just to make sure

 

I do my cossie with perfect results every year or so, I just pull the abs pump supply on motor, igntion on 2 then open bleed nipples always worked for me, with Gunsons eezi bleed.
