All that messing about with caps is a waste of time! (If one fits, fine use it)

Nobby and I did his brakes with my modified easy bleed. Drain the reservoir totally then remove the pipe that goes from the bottom of the reservoir and connect it to the outlet pipe of the east bleed. You can then use the easy bleed in the normal way.

I have also modified my system so that I can use a pushbike pump rather than messing about with tyres. (You need an old car tyre valve).

Once the system is bled it is possible to re-connect the pipe to the reservoir, make sure that the small amount of air in the pipe works its way up and out of the reservoir.

All of the above worked on Nobbys Dax, it may not work if the pipe from the reservoir to the master cylinder s routed in such a way that any air gets pushed into the system rather than out during the last stage described above.
