A friend of mine - John Witt designed this product in the early 1980's. Sadly he was killed in a car accident soon after the product was launched. He would be so proud that it is still selling and helping people after 40 years in Halfords. Good on you John.
One tip I might offer: put a couple of inches of (clean) brake fluid into the container before you start. That way, if the one-way valve fails - or doesn't work at all - the vacuum from the pedal release will pull brake fluid back into the system, and not air.
I used to think that; however, you always start with air in the tube, which would be sucked back in, so save new fluid and trust the valve or the two man method.
Awesome little device , but i cringed when I saw 5 litres of brake fluid, unless you’re a shop don’t buy that, dot 3,4 & 5.1 brake fluid will start absorbing water the second you open it, should be chucked out after a year you only need a small bottle.
Justin Drew thanks mate not a bad tool for the price 😊👍, I failed to mention in the video that brake fluid is hygroscopic, I don’t buy it in big quantities but a friend asked me to do a brake fluid flush and turned up with the 5 litre unopened and left with me for that the same reason, luckily I was able to use 3 times in a week but I have to say I still have about 3 litres left which very likely will ended up in the recycling centre 😀👍👍👍 Cheers
I have had one of these for years and used it a few times on a motorbike and car. Works a treat and doesn't require compressed air, etc. The only issue is my retaining clip has failed (split), but there are two ends to it so I have just switched ends. If the other end splits too I would try to make a replacement part but it is a cheap enough tool to simply replace if that proved difficult. Because it retains fluid in the hose, you need to be careful to avoid dripping brake fluid on the calipers, wheels etc. Either protect with a cloth when connecting or drain a little out.
Never thought of using a bungee cord on these types of systems. Always end up putting the pot on a brick, and as soon as I pump the brakes, the force knocks the pot off the brick....
Chris Mason you are not alone I’ve been there mate and done that so many times 😁, luckily this container is ideal to hook up with a bungee cord ... and you have a chance to win one I’ll be going live on the 7th of march and picking a winner stay tuned 👍👍👍
Getting one of these today - seeing mixed reviews, but mostly positive, and it's cheap enough for me to not go mental if it doesn't work :) I tried one of the "gun" type vacuum kits but couldn't get a decent seal on my bleed nipples, so the gun pulled air in as well as fluid.
Ozzstar it worked really well bud, one marching band indeed 😁... and You have a chance to win one I’ll be going live on the 7th of March and pick a winner stay tuned 👍👍👍
I've had one of these for a lot of years I also bought mine at Halfords never has let me down when I need my brake and my clutch great little one man tool
Hey there buddy!! That's a great helper !!! I have heard about these but never had one. I always had to get a helper. This would be nice for a solo worker. Take care!!!
Halfords broke my side mirror and after3 month of emails They are not accepting liability….. Just disgusting behaviour ….. Anyway if u know any other way to get my mirror fix plz ?
if you have a hydraulic clutch that shares the brake fluid reservoir to lubricate the clutch, could you do the same for the clutch. I have a d4d 2003 corolla that has a hydraulic clutch using the brake fluid reservoir to run it.thanks.
I just paid £360 to have two back calipers changed on my VW T5 van excessive pedal travel so ya first i have to check they have put them on the right way up. if they have I have to bleed the brakes. £360 brakes my heart that I have to correct what lazy people can't be bothered with doing right.
I'm finding my way around one of these. Reaced rear caliper but they don't feel as tight as I would like but I don't thin I did 10 pumps I was gonna ask if you put fluid in the bottom to cover the end of the tube and whether the level of the bottle should be above the niple as in the homemade setups or due to the valve design is not relevant? Paid £10 on amazon! Now I feel robbed! 😂
Update - got mine and used it a few times, worked perfectly; I put a layer of old fluid into the container beforehand - just in case - but it wasn't needed. One potential fly in the ointment is the black hose end... it already seems a looser fit by the fourth use than it was on the first.
Hey, need some advise, I have leak in one of my rear drum brake wheel cyclinder on my citreon c3, what i was wondering after replacing the cyclinder would i need to bleed just that brake drum or both rear sides or all 4 wheels? Cheers P.s wanna get this bleeding kit but some of the reviews have scared me ahh Top tip: Place the bottle higher than the wheel cyclinder helps with no air returning to the cyclinder.
@@darrenmicklewright2008 even with abs should be fine, but newer cars will need diagnostic software to run the abs pump to get all the fluid out. If in doubt get a garage to do it
TheAlexunit super dirty indeed she been sitting for a while, gearbox is knackered I’m fitting a 2nd hand gearbox today... i don’t what they use but I would expect Toyota dealers to have a much more hitech brake bleeder 👍👍👍
Cars Exposed I have six speed manual gearbox and it has been fixed cause something was broken inside... Isn't better to fix it than replace it with 2nd hand? Or is it damaged that bad?
Cars Exposed Last two summers i noticed that the brake pedal goes to the floor when i press it very slowly... Toyota dealer suggestion was to replace the brake master cylinder which costs 200-250€ .They and many other garages don't think a brake bleeding would make any difference. Before one month i went for a service in a garage and told them to bleed the brake system since 30,000km passed from the last time Toyota did this job. In winter months brake pedal seems normal but i feel like pedal is a lot harder..Now I'm patiently waiting for the hot summer days to check if problem fixed and Toyota dealer were lame at their job skills or i have to replace master cylinder.
If that much fluid is coming out, he's pushing the brake pedal down too far probably to the floor. Aside from the fact that he's probably damaging the master cylinder as its piston travels into the corroded end of the bore, he should top up the fluid after five of those strokes so that the master cylinder doesn't go dry.
wyattoneable absolutely 😁, and you have a chance to win one, I’ll be live 7th of March giving 2 away, I’ll keep everybody up to date with times etc... cheers for the support Wyatt 👍👍👍
Would be cool if you could make a video of you changing out that gearbox. I guess it would probably be pretty difficult getting all the footage down there when you're doing the job, but some shots of it would be great if you could. Also, loving your videos man, you're a good teacher
raf97 thanks mate much appreciated. I’m actually filming this gearbox change it’s a bit tricky like you mention but I think is going ok so stay tuned for that, it will probably be uploaded this coming Wednesday. cheers 👍👍👍
Thanks for that only done the job two man or with an Eazeebleed, bought one of these Visibleeds ages ago and all I've got to hand just now....Your video a great help👍
Looks like a Peugeot 407/Citroen C5 caliper. The ezzibleed is ezzey these are ok but a 2 litre Pop bottle with a little brake fluid to cover the end of the pipe with a couple of drill holes in the bottle top and plastic aquarium pipe form the nipple to the bottom of the bottle do the same job.
Why do you need their bottle? I'd thought a 2 litre cola bottle would be free and gives you pro-class capacity. You'd just need a working valve and the hoses.
E aí irmão, tudo bem? Estou aqui novamente para uma pergunta. Fiz o bleeding e depois senti que os freios estão um pouco spongy. Estão funcionando mas era mais rígido antes do bleeding. Fiz uma vez mais e melhorou um pouco mas ainda não no mesmo nível de antes. Você acredita que ainda pode ter ar dentro do sistema? Uma outra pergunta se eu puder : Estou usando halfords Dot 4 Comma brake fluid mas agora quero trocar para esse 'Comma DOT 4 ESP Brake Fluid 1L', eles dizem que pode misturar com outros e a razão que quero trocar é porque esse ESP é específico para abs systems.

@@CarsExposed alright buddy, so I done it bout 12-15 times each wheel, basically done whole 1 liter bottle, peddle still spongy. Do I need to follow the sequence of furthest to nearest wheel cus I done it random or may b something I missed.
Regular ppl I normally do it the furthest corner first it helps to get the old fluid out quicker but you must have another issue if still spongy mate... haven’t you got any leaks anywhere ?
@@CarsExposed never low on fluid so no leaks I guess, at some point may be I didn't tighten the reservoir cap could that be the case. Its new fluid anyway can I reuse it, I'll try again with second person just to be sure. Pads r thin will change it soon

No, because you are taking the chance of the master cylinder going dry. If refreshing brake fluid is required, use this bleeder on all brakes ( from rear, furthest brake line to front ) keeping brake reservoir topped up as you go. This will refresh all brake fluid in the “lines and reservoir” and avoid exposing rubber seals in master brake cylinder.

No, because you are taking the chance of the master cylinder going dry. If refreshing brake fluid is required, use this bleeder on all brakes ( from rear, furthest brake line to front ) keeping brake reservoir topped up as you go.
