About 15 years ago, I bought an Easy Bleed kit. I could not get it to work:
fluid all over the place (of course I was using it on an Alfa Romeo, so
that may explain the problem).
However, a month or so back, I needed to use it again. Lowering the
pressure in my pressure source (actually, I had to blow up my spare tyre
to get any pressure at all) and checking for a good seal ( garden hose seal
fitted my MGA's master cylinder very well), I found it a very easy and
effective tool. Bleeding the brakes was a snap! I would recommend it!
