Morning all, Have had the dreaded 'sticky piston' issue on the N/s rear calliper. New pair of callipers and pads on way from Dan (should be here later today)

I will obviously need to bleed the brakes once I have fitted the new callipers, and as there is no evidence that the brake fluid has ever been replaced, I intend to do this at the same time. I have a Gunsons 'easybleed' kit, which I used to use all the time on my Defender TD5 - but that didn't have the ABS etc. etc, just a 'bog standard' braking system.

So, the question is, can I use the pressure bleed kit to bleed the system, or will it affect the ABS or braking system.

If I can't use it, then I'll have to get SWMBO to sit in the driver's seat and press the pedal while I am bleeding the system (it's much easier with the easybleed, as you can do it on your own  2006 (56 Reg) 4.4 V8 Vogue In Bonatti Grey (Gorgeous!!)

I have just bled mine, probably the easiest car I have ever done.

You can get very easy access if you raise the suspension (May not need to dependant upon your alloys) and the easy bleed kit works well. There didn't seem to be anything complicated about it at all and mine is still stopping  4.2 Supercharged Vogue SE

+1 No problem using an Easy-Bleed system with an ABS equipped car, I used to do it all the time.
Much easier than using an "assistant"

Thanks for the help guys , always good to know that other people have successfully manged to do what you are proposing.

Calipers and pads have just arrived BUT I'm on nights this week

So, hopefully if the wet stuff stays in the sky tomorrow morning, I should have her back on the road.  2006 (56 Reg) 4.4 V8 Vogue In Bonatti Grey (Gorgeous!!)
