easy bleed with no spare wheel

[DomP182]

As the title says, no spare on 182s so could I use and don't laugh- my wheel barrow tyre pressure? Failing that my son has himself a job this weekend

20psi is 20psi in my book

 

[JamesBryan]

^As above, if there is 20psi in a wheel barrow tyre then yeah.

Do the 4 wheels + therefore 4 tyres attached to your car not have any air in them..?

Precisely what I thought!

Bingo!

Does the OP own a foot pump?

 

[DomP182]

Don't want to be dropping my psi to 20 on all my tyres

 

[George182]

Just do it the old fashioned way - get someone to pump the pedal.

You use hardly any air volume

 

[DomP182]

I suppose when you think of it I'm at most going to use 1ltr of fluid, I will stop being a woman and crack on with it

Don't worry about what the book says. I've always used the closest wheel and the reinflated it after. Eazibleed takes hardly any air and only uses it for pushing force. High PSI = quick job

Make sure you bleed in the correct order which is distance from the master cylinder so back left, back right, front left and finally front right. Should take about 200ml out of each line to replace the fluid. Thats what it used to be in my old golf anywho and that's a bigger car with a hydraulic clutch.

I made the mistake of trying to bleed the brakes using the power reservoir once so try to avoid that!

Like above. Use one of the wheels, drop the tyre pressure to 20 ish then pump it back up after ? easy
