I have used reverse bleeding several times for hydraulic clutches with 100% success, but today I did my 1850's brakes with it. The system is entirely new with new master cylinder, calipers, rear cylinders and pipes and flexibles, so it was the ideal time. I filled the Eezibleed with fresh brake fluid, connected it to the rear bleed nipple, and pressurised it with a tyre with less than 10 psi pressure. I had previously opened both front caliper bleed screws and attached a short tube from each into a jar, and the master cylinder had its cap off.
As soon as I connected the tyre valve I saw the fluid travel up the clear tube and into the rear nipple. Then for what seemed like ages nothing happened, but then I noticed a small trickle of fluid coming out of the RH caliper screw. I checked that the flow was steady without bubbles and then tightened that nipple. Shortly after, the same thing happened on the LH caliper and again when the flow was steady I closed that one off.
Then, as if by magic, the master cylinder reservoir began to fill from the bottom up. Once it was about a third full, I closed off the rear bleed screw and depressurised the Eezibleed bottle.
Opening the door of the car I tentatively put my foot on the brake pedal. What do you know, it went down about half way and was then solid. I jammed it down with a timber baulk and tried each brake to find all were locked on. RESULT.
When you work alone, as I do, this was a brilliant solution to what is often a two man job. Do give it a try, it really works. I just wish it was me who had thought of it, but sadly I'm just copying someone else's genius.
