How do you E36 guys bleed brakes with wheels on the car?
Hey guys,
Was doing front brakes for a friend yesterday on his 1997 328i, and I can't get my one-man bleeder kit to go on the bleeder screw (too little clearance between the screw and the wheel). Just wondering what you guys are using when bleeding the brakes with wheels on the car.
Thanks.

I can get under the car, I just can't get my kit over the bleeder screw
I'm guessing you have larger than 15" wheels on your car.Originally Posted by Bruno

I don't, i pull the wheels off and do them that way. Easier for
me to get my hoses on there and open and close the valve anyway.
