Speedbleeders - Andy - 10-29-2005
I know a lot of manufacturers make them and I know a lot of you guys know about them. They kick ass if you want to quickly bleed brakes before track. On my car, I don't even have to take off the wheels, I just reach in from the back. Partsamerica.com has them for a little cheaper (~10 per 2) but they charge shipping if the order is under 50.
Here's a link to get some:

I used these on my WRX. Worked pretty good. Some people complain that you cant get a firm pedal with them, but I didnt notice any difference between them and regular bleeders.
Just dont over torque them, it will crush the check valve inside. (Ask me how i know)

I have them on the mustang. In a pinch I'll use them, but if there is an extra set of feet nearby I'd rather do it the old fashon way.

speedbleders suck..... gravity bleed is the only way to roll

i've got a valved tube from autozone. highly recommended if you're in a pinch, but like chad i'd rather do it the old fashioned way if i can. pedal feels the same both ways, i just feel more comfortable with a person to rely on.

You get 3 :?: for that. I did use them, and I thought they sucked.

That doesn't make sense? How do they suck? Its a fucking check valve that opens when pressure is applied. Same as some retard w/ a wrench doing it :roll:

I never got a good pedal feel with them, and they leaked around the threads. YMMV.

I think i'll keep using my 12 in peice of plastic tube. Make a loop, attach, open valve, pump, close valve. Done. Never had any problems and I don't have to have anybody around to help me.

:thumbdown: for me! I had to bleed more than usual because I swear those things were letting air in, and I sold my E36 with one broken off in a rear caliper. And that was the 2nd one I broke! The first just broke off a little higher so I was able to get it out....

i'd put some foil tape on the threads upon installation. even a stock bleeder lets some air in around the threads.
