Astra brake bleeding

[busby446]

Hi.
Anyone got any hints on how to bleed Astra brakes sucessfully?

Have replaced master cylinder & bled using 2 man pedal pushing which did not work well. Then i bought a pressure bleeding kit which has improved brake pedal resistance, but still feels very spongy.

Any ideas?

2 man trick normally does it for me.

I use an easi-bleed kit from halfords. (about £5)

Very simple just a one way valve on a bit of pipe into a bottle. Connect to the appropriate bleed nipple (oo-er) and start pumping.

When the liquid is coming through with no air move on.

Best to bleed the one further from the master cyclinder first and work to the closest last.
