So, what do you get in the box with the Gunsons Eezi-bleed?
Here it is as it is delivered or purchased.
The package contains….
1x fluid bottle
1x bottle cap assembly with tyre connector
2x 30mm hose, (one larger diameter than the other)
1x 25mm metal cap and seal for Lockheed systems
1x 27mm cap for Volkswagon Audi group systems
1x 44/45mm plastic cap and 2 seals for metal Girling and all ATE systems (for 44 mm, use thin seal, thick seal for 45mm.)
1x 46mm metal cap (for some Girling systems).
I had no difficulty in getting a cap to fit to the reservoirs on both the clutch and brake systems on my SIII. Though, there are other caps available if you have an earlier system, like the II and IIa twin reservoir for example.
How does it work? Well, you put new clean brake fluid into the bottle supplied, and attach the cap to the reservoir on your system. The other pipe connects to the spare tyre, and provides pressure to refill the reservoir as you empty it by bleeding. (TAKE NOTE..it is advised by GUNSONS that a pressure of no more than 20 PSI is used for bleeding. I used 10 PSI.)
Included in the kit are full instructions for bleeding your brakes, and also some instructions for use with different types of systems.
Quality wise…it's all sturdily put together, and will give a good few years of service (hopefully making that annual brake fluid change a lot easier) and with contacts for getting spares, any seals will be easy to replace. .
I found this tool to be very useful..it simplified the operation greatly, and also meant that I could do the job on my own. I think it is easier to use than the vacuum type, and certainly for the home user is a lot cheaper. You will still need some method of catching the used fluid, but in all fairness, you'd need that anyway. By pressurising the system in this way, the chance of drawing air back into the brake lines is greatly reduced
Prices vary..the typical price is £23.63, and I found a few retailers on the internet selling it at prices varying from £11.50 and £16.83 to £24.99. Bear in mind that online purchases will incur carriage costs. From my perspective, a good purchase
