Hi all, planning on bleeding my brake system pretty soon, and was looking at one that connects to the spare tyre and uses that pressure to bleed it.
I was wondering if these are recommended? And also, would I have to go round every bleed nipple with this method? Or does the pressure from the spare tyre somehow bleed the whole system from one point?
Also, what order would the system need to be bled in?
Thanks

That would be the easybleed kit then, I used to use them years ago and they work ok, you have to keep the pressure up in the spare to about 30psi and start at the back furthest point from the master cyl then work your way around, now days I use a mityvac system mostly used for bikes but does cars to.

An easy job, i use to start at the rear n/s ,rear o/s, front n/s then finish at front o/s as long as you change all the fluid it should not matter to much, get yourself 2 or 3 litres of dot4 and bleed away, it does help if its not pissing down like today lol.

Start with furthest away from master cylinder and work to the closest.
You can buy cheap easy bleed kits for around £10-£15 from a local motor factors.
