Brake & Clutch Bleeding System - Recomendation

[BugMan]

Ok team, got some brake and clutch bleeding/filling in my near future, and TBH I've not done any of this since I was about 19, on a knackered yellow Ford Escort Mk1

So I'm after some recommendations on what I need, what makes it easiest etc.

Seen a whole bunch of stuff if you Google it, but after what is best/easiest to use, and ideally make it a 1 man operation ?

Gunsen’s Eazibleed, just be very careful not to exceed the recommended tyre pressures or it gets messy fast!

Like this on Dave?

Not sure you need the French version . Normal version is only £20 and on Prime. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gunson-G4062F-G4062-Eezibleed-Kit/dp/B001KTFIWA/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1518781822&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=Gunson+Eezibleed

It works well but agree about minding the pressure, it's a quick way to find leaks

That looks bl**** clever, so it replaces the top of the reservoir so I guess then there is no foot-pedal work and the air-pressure does the work 4u?

When I first bled mine with an easibleed , I went round twice and then left it a week and then went round again. Then any micro bubbles , after a week will have travelled up the calipers .

.. and whatever you do, don't let the reservoir run out of fluid.  I've done that several times.. Just bleed a little more out.. and a little more.. Then you get that sound like a kid sucking through a drinking straw when there's nothing left, as your brake system fills with compressed air.

Air brakes.

Not cool, will try to avoid that

Echo the not using too much pressure. Deflate your spare tyre first and just add back the 10psi or so it suggests. I used it with my 30psi spare thinking it would just last longer for repeated bleeding. Don't do it..... spent longer clearing up than it took to bleed all four brakes
