Speed Bleeders/ Brakes

[Howard Jones]

I just got done bleeding my brakes last night. My system was completely dry and the whole thing took about 2.5 hours. And I did it by myself. SPEED BLEEDERS are cool! You replace you bleed screw with what looks like a another bleed screw but the new ones have a check valve inside. This allows you to simply open the valve at the caliper and pump the brake peddle until the fluid comes out. Then move on to the next caliper.The check valve prevents the air from being sucked back into the system when you release the brake. It took me longer to turn the rear calipers upside down than to bleed them. Speed Bleeders come in packages of two and many thread sizes. Four of them cost me $18.50US Ya I know the stock GTD ganada brakes suck. But the wilwoods are part of phase 2 along with wheels and tires. I just want to get it running first. Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year.

 

Any special place one has to go to get these?

they should be available through summit or jeg's mail order catalogs. I believe they are sold with the other "russell" brand hose fittings/equipment.
