Brake bleeding
Discussion
Afternoon all
Have been changing the fluid in the wifes 09 fiesta and have got one of those universal brake bleeding kits off of ebay (the ones with a vacuum pump) and i cannot seem to get a steady flow of fluid from the bleed nipple. I suspect its the seal between the silicon tubing and blleed nipple itself. I have tried using both the supplied adapter and just the tube over the nipple but the fluid seems to just dribble out a bit. Anybody got any tips for how to get a better seal?
Cheers

Never had much success with patent devices! Get wife to help in traditional fashion but make instructions clear or discord may follow. On a more serious note, a plastic tube which fits really tightly would help - over time I've collected lots of bits from all sorts of junk so can usually find something to fit.
