Brake bleeding

Post by bovrit » Mon Sep 02, 2013 12:28 pm

I am a very new Atom owner and new to the club, I  intend to replace the brake fluid this week.

What method of brake bleeding is most suited to the dual cylinder set up, I am guessing the slave cylinder pull through type attached to air line makes it a one man operation rather than peddle pushing method

Is this successfull ?

thanks

I have used a low pressure EAZIBLEED system in the past for fluid replacement :tu:

The Eazibleed is a good way to go, a very usefull tool. I used one once with an adaptor to prime the oil system on my pre war Rolls-Royce engine after i rebuilt it. They work well

Thanks guys its pretty well what i thought I didnt know if there were any specific atom quirks or tips, i usually push the pedal whilst using the eaziblead but this is not going to be so easy with a dual system

thanks

Does anyone else use this? I bought one but the cap doesn't seem to fit on my reservoir. Do I have to use an adaptor?

eazybleed is good, but be carefull all bleeders need to be taped or replaced, on my atom 3.5 none of the calipers bleeder screws where able to hold a vacuum...bubbles keep coming through the thread
