I want to replace the brake fluid in my Honda S2000.

I normally use my gunson eezibleeder which is straight forward.

But have noticed on the S2000 there are 2 reservoirs?

Would one be for the brakes, one for the clutch?

Or are both for the brakes?

Also the reservoir lids are a bayonet fitting rather than a screw, so I don't have a correct fitting with the eezibleeder.

Are the bayonet fittings air tight? Ie I could drill a hole in the lid, connect eezibleeder then seal lid after? Or will air just escape around the lid?

Anyone any advice?

Cheers.

What the hell?

Just remove all the old fluid. Top with new fluid. Have someone press down on the brake pedal and hold it down while you crack open the bleeder screw and let the fluid come out, tap the calliper with a rubber mallet to get air out. Then do up the bleeder screw and then allow ur mate to bring the pedal up.

I would buy a new cap drill it for the ezy bleed fittings. The smaller reservoir will be your clutch.

Worth checking for any special procedures before you start (abs valves etc), for instance my car needs to be pressure bleed @ 2bar which the Gunsons kit won't cope with.
