I am a relative newcomer to the Eezibleed method, but I soon discovered that the lower the pressure used, ie 2 to 3 psi gave good results with no leakage. Use it straight off an inflated tyre = brake fluid everywhere!

I agree Dave, the 20psi that I recall they recommend is too much. Also I have found that the best way to get a good seal on the m/c is to sacrifice a master cylinder cap, certainly works well with the Stag one on FRanK.

Bike tube might be a good idea. Low pressure, and you can rest it on top of the wing without risk of damage.

Maybe a wheelbarrow inner tube or car inner tube?
