I find the eezibleed so easy to use. I make sure the front off side wheel has it's valve at top of wheel then reduce the pressure to 10 to 15 psi, top up the eesibleed bottle and hang safely from the bonnet hinge, then remove the master cylinder top, connect the bottle tube to the top of the master cylinder via the eezibleed dummy master cylinder screwcap then connect the airline to the tyre valve and now the brake system is pressured up any opened nipple will now release fluid under pressure along with any air in that part of the  system,no need even to have a tube on the nipple other than to observe the expelled fluid condition and direct it into container. of course I keep an eye on the fluid bottle level My eezibleed is a few yrs old and has never given leakage of either air pressure or fluid obviously the integrity of the banjo joints in the 2 screw caps needs to be 100%. Worth a mention that both ends of the plastic fluid pipe in the 2 screwcaps have metal tube lineing the inner bores to take the compression of the banjo joints.The last time I used mine was to renew the complete system fluid on my own,so easy just opened up each nipple in the proper sequence untill new fluid appeared :y

Good job Cliffo.  :y

Mine is about 3 or 4 years old.  I've never used it to just 'bleed' the braking system, but have successfully used it on several cars to do a fluid replacement.

I too have no problems with leaking seals..... I do however use a spare, spare tyre which is as flat as the proverbial.    ;D

So just to check I've read correctly. Two man pedal method with a pipe on the nipple didn't work as there was air constantly visible in the bleed tube to jar.

Then got an easy bleed from Halfords and tried again, no air no problem.

That being the case I wonder if the pipe initialy used with the two man method was not sealed at the nipple end and allowing air in? So the air was not from the caliper at all? Does the pedal feel any firmer now there is no air in the bleed pipe. If not that might confirm it...?

Correct Chris.

99.9% sure that the pipe over the bleed nipple on the first caliper was pushed in properly. Not had time to finish off the last two calipers yet, so don't know about any improvement in pedal feel.

What's confused me a little bit is the huge amount of air coming out of the bleed nipple / waste pipe using the two man method, but seemingly zero coming out when using the Ezzi-Bleed.

Or slop in the nipple thread to caliper...? It can be a right bugger though, had some mares with bikes over the years.
