I was taught the only way to bleed brakes is the 2 man method.

Sincerely,

Didn't work on the 107 I worked on because the ABS unit was stuck.
It was not because it was a 107. It has worked on 123 and 126 and
124s. That includes every MB I ever worked on the brakes, other than
110. I just never tried it on a 110,
did it work on the 107 with ABS?

It is from the land of Lucas, UK and is named Gunnison's Eezi-Bleed.
I use the Eezi-Bleed also.

hence the need for a pressure bleeder (from either the top or the bottom)
I use a MityVac and one of those plastic siphon jars with the dip tube in it.
Works for me and makes it easy to do with minimal mess.

That brake bleeder that was discussed some years ago uses a flaps cap with an
air fitting and low pressure to push the fluid from the reservoir using your
air compressor. That would push it more quickly. I use a mityvac to suck it
out, kinda messy but works.

I don't know for sure. I always heard that ABS systems required a pressure
bleeder.

Super simple. Next time I need brake work I intend to buy one.

Sounds like a great way to bleed brakes on a little used car when in no
hurry to put it on the road.

*Great idea!! I have a couple of spare fuel pumps (MGB which are
nominally 3-5psi) that should do the job and I may add a T and do both
wheels on one axle at a time. It may be more trouble than it's worth
as watching the MC will become even more critical. i guess I could
make a push button
Huh. This is interesting. Can all bleeder screws be open and draining at the
same time?

Purchase a 12 volt fuel pump, Low pressure pump that does 10 psi or less
will work fine. Purchase some clear poly tubing, the semi soft kind, that
will fit over the brake bleeder nicely. Connect that line to the 12v fuel
pump intak

I have successfully gravity bled brakes on 126 and 123. About to do
it on 107. Just open the bleeders, go do somethin else and let it
drain. Come back later, when the lines

Don't use DOT3, as that is the cause of swollen hoses that begin to
act as check valves.
DOT4 is the right stuff - but there is some DOT3/4 on the market

Hi Gang -
I have the stuff gathered to change my bleeder valves and R&R t
DOT 4. Do NOT use DOT 5. DOT 3 and 4 are compatible. DOT 5 isn't.
DOT3 will swell the brake hoses shut. Not a
happy day. DOT 3 sucks DONT USE DOT3 ever in
any german machine.
Good stuff is Castrol GT/LMA brake fluid, or the
ATE stuff, if you can find it, or MB $juice$ from
the steale
Hi Gang -
I have the stuff gathered to change my bleeder valves and R&R the
Brake fluid - well everything but the time and the brake fluid.
2 questions:
1. What DOT BF Should I use? I used to use DOT 4 but some
forums have made that sound like a poor choice.
