after replacing a leaking rear caliper i must have let a big load of air into the system.i cant seem to bleed them the normal way so i used one of the sealey self bleeding kits. the first time i used it it burst the fluid resevoir so i got hold of another one (second hand) and guess what yes blew a hole in that one as well.any ideas as how to bleed the brakes some other way. please

You can use Eezi-Beed type gear, but it appears the reservoir only withstands 10-15 psi.
Keep the pressure low, and you'll be fine.

I had the same problem first time I tried one of mine
