Taggy Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Hi I must still have air in my brake system since changing to the EP70, my WMS brakes have always been a bit spongy in the EP70, where as before on the GT they used to be like rocks on the pedal and a little touch would have you almost ripping your organs out. Now when i push the brakes its more like standard and then it gets to a point where braking harder doesn't apply much more braking force and just feels like air is being squished in the system some where. So my question is this, i have tried to bleed the brakes the usual method, but I thought it would be more effective to use air pressure to force the brake fluid around the system to bleed it. I have seen kits which fit on top of the brake fluid master cylinder and the pressure literally shoves the fluid out the brake lines, i am hoping this will remove any trapped bubbles i might have. Anyone got one that fits the starlet, the one i had didn't have a big enough lid to seal the reservoir on the toyota. Edited February 8, 2013 by Taggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liam_D Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hi mate I had problems with spongy brake pedal feel on my WMS kit, I couldn't get a good pedal feel because air was being stored in the top pockets of the calipers. I got round the problem by adding extra bleed nipples on each caliper so know I have one on the top and one on the bottom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Check out the 'airboy' bleeders, i've got one at work. It work slightly different to that ^ one, one line goes to the bleed nipple on the caliper and you connect an airline to the connector on the bottle, it sucks the fluid/air out by vacuum. Works well with fuel lines too. Great bit of kit, quite expensive but. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 ....but you did have the calipers upside down to start with Liam! Sometimes they have four nipples per caliper, but when they have two nipples and two blanks the nipples go at the top. :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I have an Eezibleed, but I don't think it fits the EP as it has screw type lids Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jellybaby Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Also maybe a master cylinder as well tho if no air is noticed when bleeding as the diaphragm maybe starting to fail Quote Link to post Share on other sites
