After spending a fortune redoing the hydraulics on my car a few years
back, I've made a habit of flushing the fluid once per year. Using an
Eezibleed makes doing this solo a piece of cake. I used it on an old VW
I once owned and my son used it to bleed the brakes on his TR8 after
rebuilding them. It works just as well on hydraulic clutches.
The down side is that they've gotten damn expensive since I bought mine.
