My trusty focus is due a brake fluid change. I bought a gunson eezibleeder from halfords one of those one man kits.. many good reviews.
I was just wondering having never touched a bleed nipple if this is a simple enough job. Is there anything I need to be aware of or tips ?
I have the focus 1.8 ghia 04 petrol with abs.
From what I can tell you connect a low pressure tyre to the eezibleed adapter, fill the bottle with new fluid, connect a special lid to the brake fluid tank, and then remove a cover? from the nipple attach a hose and put in container with fresh fluid. Open the nipple and watch till fresh clean bible free fluid comes out and tighten ?
Then work your way round. Not sure on order ?
I've only read that in theory just wondering if that's it or any pitfalls to watch out for and tips tricks to get it done right.
Also hopefully no hidden bleed nipple on the master ?
and no special software to bleed the abs ?
Also I was told I could syringe the fluid out of the master to the min line add fresh fluid to max line and then bleed to avoid wasting fluid and less old fluid being pushed out and time saving ?
Is there a special tool used for opening these nipples or is a spanner just needed ?
Does the clutch need bleeding aswell as I think it all runs off the same tank ? or is that best left alone.
Apologies for the many q's but I would like to get it right :)
just out of interest on a seperate note if you change your front pads for example all bleed nipples have to be bled or just the fronts ?
Thanks
