Self Brake Bleeder Kit

Hi Guys,

I need to bleed a rear caliper on my 2014 Range Rover Sport.
What brake bleed kit for one person to use would you recomend that you have used etc?


Cheers!

Do you have a compressor? I use an air powered Sealey VS020 and it works really nicely for my stuff.

Do you know what pressure you have to use?

Gunsons eezibleed was the weapon of choice for many year's.

The VS020? I use about 80psi.

I've had a couple of those things that pressurise the brake master cylinder reservoir, and got fed up with the cap either leaking or blowing off at the worst moment. Now I pump the pedal to pump fluid through. I use a clear line from the bleed nipple back to a jar in front of the driver where I can see it. In practice this lets me bleed it single handedly and see what state the fluid is coming out - very handy when trying to chase air out. The only disadvantage I can think of is that on a badly worn master cylinder the seal can be damaged by moving the pedal past the normal range of travel, but IMO that's a prompt to fix the m/c.

No I meant on his car, I've found ezibleeds OK, but some systems need to use more pressure.
