Colibri Brown Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hello all I am new to this forum. I own a 1989 Range Rover Classic, EFI 3.5 Non ABS Last week I had to change the brake master cylinder as it had started having a very bad leak from the back inlet port seal. I am using the Gunson's Eezi Bleed system. Am I right in thinking that to do the front right I need to open simultaneously the primary and secondary bleed nipples on the in board side, then the secondary nipple on the other side. Or is there a better way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 First of all if your master cylinder has the brake fail warning switch fitted half way down the side of the MS then this must first be disconnected and unscrewed 4 full turns. Bleed sequence. NSR OSR NSF Bleed both screws, on the same side of the calliper, simultaneously. Then the screw on the other side of the calliper. OSF Repeat the above. Ezee bleed is a good bit of kit but make sure you only run about 15psi or less. If you run more pressure you make the bubbles in the fluid smaller and more difficult to get out.

Steve Thanks steve, that is how I was going to do it. The Ezee bleed is now in the bin, because the top started leaking air then I sealed that with PTFE tape, then the connector to the tyre the hose flew off cabe tie that back on. and last thing was the top poped off and sparyed brake fluid over the engine. I was using 16 PSI from a old Mini tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colibri Brown Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 At last, I spent 4 hours in the rain bleeding the brakes to day in the right order, The wife and I got both soaked through to the skin. The pedal is now firm, have not been for a test drive will do that midweek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
