It really is as easy to use as they show it in the video. Its a god send for CX rear spheres and brake accumulator spheres when you can do them on the car.

Have a read of this :

They are fairly easy to use though not the best, however as the best is no longer in production it does seem like a good option now.

For most people obtaining a Nitrogen supply at reasonable cost is the biggest problem not getting the recharging rig.
At present new spheres remain available at a cost that makes sphere recharging uneconomic. There is a good chance that this may not remain so.
For those intending to keep their hydraulic Citroens long term recharging may be necessary but by then there will also be a shortage of spheres suitable for recharging.
Norrie on Club-xm.com describes how to manufacture a rig and make up sphere valves.

You can get a bottle of Nitrogen for a one of charge of about £100, then once you have your bottle its about £40 to have it refilled, its the best i have found without having monthly bottle rental etc etc.

This may be of help

We have various recharging rigs and I know the nipples which are the best ones, though I can't get hold of them now. Perhaps we will look into getting some made up.

I like to stick to Citroen spheres and so being able to recharge spheres is a real bonus! Obviously the C5s can't be done but as they last a awfully long time im not too bothered, for the Xm and the sphere plenty Activa its excellent.

C5s can be done! Drill and tap - It's pictured on Ciaran's (I think) XM forum...

Indeed, the C5 spheres can be re-gassed as well.
