I would second what Simon said :), that the Eezibleed is, well, easier
than Mityvac or at least it seemed to be better to use pressure
instead of vacuum. When I used the Mityvac on an XJ6 (because I
didn't have an Eezibleed cap to fit the reservoir) I was getting a
lot of air bubbles in my bleed tube that were just a result of a
vacuum leak between the bleeder valve threads and the cylinder body,
and around the bleed tube. Although this doesn't really matter, it
makes it harder to be confident that you got all the air bubbles out
of the system. With the Eezibleed I drop the tire pressure down to
12psi for supplying the Eezibleed. On the other hand doing it the old
fashioned way is a good way to get teenage kids out in the garage
doing something useful. My philosophy is that brake bleeding should
be easy so it can be done often.
