Has anyone got a solution to using Hopes 'little bleeder' bleed kit without having to use a car tyre for the supply, its going to be a ball ache to do this, I was going to grab the spare out the boot until I found out it was a space saver, bummer!!!
R
Bicycle inner tube.
Just bleed conventionally without the kit
Was told by several people it was much cleaner and quicker, however they didnt mention the car tyre, I have now bought it so would like to use it to see how it lives up to all the recomendations!!! but I aint standing out by the car on the road with tools freezing by balls off........god dam space saver tyres
Can't you use your bike tyre or don't you run schrader valves/tubes?
apparently a bike tyre does not have the volume to do it properly as it requires 20 psi+ at a constant rate, hence a bike tyre will initially supply enough but quickly go flat where as a car tyre has the pressure and volume to last the duration of the bleed process, might try it though to see what happens.
Bleed them without the kit, much easier.
