Whatever you do, don't use an Eezibleed with a fully inflated tyre - drop the pressure
to 5 or at most 10psi before connecting. Otherwise there is a good chance that the cap
will be blown off the master cylinder, spraying brake fluid all over the bulkhead! As
you can imagine, this is not good, especially if you're using DOT4 (or DOT3 if you're
so inclined) rather than Silicone.....
Cheers,
Bill.
PS
This lesson was learnt from bitter experience, but I know plenty of others who've
done it too.
