When I borrowed an EZBleed (or however you spell it) I cured my cap =
leaks by wrapping a bit of plastic around the threads of the MC. I used =
this plastic tape I had, that is supposed to be used for roping off =
areas, like where you're trying to grow grass or whatever. I suppose a =
strip of trash bag would have worked as well.=20

Subject: Eze-Bleed Question
Hi All! Any Eze-Bleed experts out there? Your answers will come too =
late to
help me last nite as I struggled with it, but I'm sure I'll be there =
again
bleeding brakes. After asking around, I decided to try this Eze-Bleed =
gizmo
whilst rebuilding my brakes. Followed the instructions and tried it =
"dry" (no
fluid). Got air leaks around the cap. Tried adjusting the seal and
tightening harder--seemed better. Went with fluid (good 'ole Castrol) =
and it
quickly became "fluidus eruptis"--the bleeding part went great, but =
fluid pee-
d out profusely around the cap. Luckily the car is in "driver =
condition" and
not pristine, it just removed a little more paint from the mount shelf,
despite lots of paper towel! The subsequent clutch bleeding went =
perfectly
(small metal cap).
What'd I do wrong? Is this just another case of "great idea, poor =
execution"?
Thank goodness this wasn't a freshly painted show car!
