Hey guys I was wondering if any you knew what size and pitch speed bleeders I need to buy for the front and rear calipers. I searched but I didn't come up with much. Why don't more people have speed bleeders? They're awesome
Thanks for the time,
Evan

 

Why don't more people use speedbleeders? I like having someone else to blame if there is still air in the system...............

Haha

I did the rear brakes with no speedbleeders, it took Mum and I all of 5 minutes. But I'm interested to find this out also as I'm considering getting some for the times when I can't rope someone into pumping my pedal.

Cheers big ears

I found that site just after I posted above. I didn't have a big look around there yet but didn't see any "international orders" info jumping out after me......might see if I can get something locally.

 

I just ordered these thanks a lot for this info. I am changing out my clutch master cylinder and this would be a perfect time to change out the brake fluid and bleed the brakes.

 

i want to change to SS break lines soon, is this good to help me bleed the new lines afterwards?

 

Yes, if you don't have a Power Bleeder.

 

Ravamping an old thread, but does anyone know what size the clutch slave will take?

 

Not sure, but the pedal-pumping method doesn't work as well with the clutch IME. When I installed a stainless clutch line I ended up needing to vacuum pump it.

But kudos for finding an old thread.

were the bubbles simply not coming out with the normal method? im always affraid of leaving air in hte lines but dont know a foolproof way to make sure its all out.

 

FWIW, I had no trouble bleeding the clutch on mine.

I have used SpeedBleeders on several cars and automatically buy them when I get a new car.

A lot of people also have trouble when installing these because they do not notice that the torque specs list inch-pounds and vastly overtighen then causing them to leak.

 

The clutch wouldn't move any fluid or air even when I lifted the pedal up and down. Maybe I needed to keep doing it for a while, but the vacuum pump got things moving immediately.
