Product Information
Full details
The Gunson LSR40 Eezibleed kit is designed for DIY mechanics and car enthusiasts who need to bleed hydraulic brakes and clutches efficiently and independently. Its key benefit is enabling a single person to perform brake bleeding without assistance, saving time and effort. A potential caveat is the need for compatible spare tire pressures, and that while common screw caps are included, universal adapters might be required for some vehicles. This kit uses a spare tire to pressurize the system, forcing new fluid through and expelling old fluid and air.

FAQs
Can I use this kit with my ABS system?
Yes, the Gunson Eezibleed is suitable for use on vehicles with ABS systems. The pressurized method helps ensure a thorough bleed.
How much pressure should I put in the spare tire?
Typically, around 15-20 PSI is recommended. Always refer to the specific instructions provided with the kit or your vehicle's service manual for the most accurate pressure.
What if the supplied caps don't fit my car?
The kit includes caps for common vehicles. If none of the supplied caps fit your master cylinder, you will need to purchase compatible universal adapters separately.
How do I clean the Eezibleed kit after use?
Rinse the reservoir and hoses with clean brake fluid or a suitable solvent to remove residue. Wipe dry with a clean cloth and store in a dry location.
Is it safe to leave the system pressurized for an extended period?
It is best to perform the bleeding process efficiently and not leave the system under pressure for longer than necessary. Monitor the process closely and release pressure once bleeding is complete.
Can this kit be used for bleeding clutch fluid?
Yes, the Eezibleed kit is designed for bleeding both hydraulic brake and clutch systems.
What kind of brake fluid should I use?
Always use the brake fluid type recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. Common types include DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1. Check your vehicle's manual.
Troubleshooting
Kit not pressurizing the system.
Check that the spare tire is adequately inflated. Ensure all connections between the tire, Eezibleed reservoir, and master cylinder are tight and free from leaks. Verify the correct cap or adapter is securely fitted.
Fluid is leaking from the master cylinder connection.
Ensure the correct cap or adapter is being used for your vehicle's master cylinder. Check the cap's seal for damage and ensure it is firmly seated. If necessary, use a universal adapter.
Air is still present in the brake lines after bleeding.
Ensure the master cylinder reservoir does not run dry during the process; refill as needed. Double-check all connections for leaks. If the problem persists, re-bleed the system, ensuring no air is introduced.
Slow fluid flow.
Confirm sufficient pressure from the spare tire. Check the collection hose and bleed nipple for any blockages. Ensure the bleed nipple is sufficiently opened.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enables single-person brake bleeding, saving time and labor.
- Reduces the risk of air entering the system due to the closed-loop design.
- Faster bleeding process compared to traditional manual methods.
- Suitable for a wide range of vehicles.
- Simple and straightforward to use, even for novice mechanics.
Cons
- Requires a working spare tire with appropriate pressure.
- May require purchasing universal adapters if supplied caps do not fit specific vehicles.
- Potential for mess if not carefully managed during fluid transfer.
- Relies on tire pressure, which can vary slightly.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the vehicle's master cylinder reservoir is filled to the correct level with new brake fluid.
- Attach the appropriate screw cap or universal adapter to the master cylinder.
- Connect the Eezibleed reservoir to the cap.
- Connect the air hose from the spare tire to the Eezibleed reservoir.
- Connect a suitable length of hose from the reservoir's outlet to the caliper or slave cylinder bleed nipple.
- Inflate the spare tire to the specified pressure (usually indicated on the Eezibleed unit or in the manual).
Compatibility:
The Gunson LSR40 is designed for use on virtually all cars and light commercial vehicles with hydraulic brake or clutch systems. It includes various screw caps for common master cylinder reservoir types. For less common configurations, universal adapters are available separately.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly clean the Eezibleed reservoir and hoses with clean brake fluid or a suitable solvent to prevent contamination. Wipe dry.
- Storage: Store the kit in a clean, dry place. Ensure all components are free from dirt and debris before storage.
- Fluid Handling: Always handle brake fluid in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate protective gear. Brake fluid can damage paintwork.
