sorry for the crappy pic, but here they are.. look BEEFY :D Now I just gotta get an extra set of calipers and start tearing into the rear drums... I'm sure my noob arse will be able to figure it out :wink1:

im jealous... just remember to put the bleeders on the top side...

I don't suppose you have a power bleeder or Phoenix bleeder machine laying around your shop do you :wink1: ??? I bought some speed bleeders, but one got stripped out from a crappy old caliper,.... A power bleeder would be soo much faster.. I've thought about trying the garden sprayer thing..

Why not use two people?
do realize the qualifications of this job??? there are not many ASE certified pedal pumpers out there...

use your speed bleeder on one side, then change it to the other side...
 
Honestly. Any body with one working arm or leg and a pulse should qualify for that job. (girlfriend or brake bleeder :D)
 
I used a piece of 1/4 plate, jb weld, 2.40 for a barbed NIPPLE. Oh yeah, took my wifes garden sprayer (free:D ). I have 2.40+tax in a pressure bleeder.

moving my good speed bleeder around is a pretty dang good idea!! I guess I'll just find a good ASE certified pedal pumper with OSHA approved footgear :doah: :haha:

that's what I'm talkin about :wink1: ....probably take 1/10th of the time of the foot pumping thing :bow:

that is a given... any ASE pedal pumper WOULD be wearing OSHA footwear...

My system was empty, and it took about 30minutes or so to bleed entire system.
 
Don't forget you'll need those special brake bleeding/pedal pusher shoes for her as well,,,,need to be fashionably appropriate for the job as well :p:
 
as long as the official petal pusher can be the official fluid topper as well, then were in business
 
Anyone ever just used a valve core in a piece of plate and turned the pressure to their air hose way down and bleed it that way?

that would not really work, you need some way to get new brake fluid in the master cylinder just using air would jsut make it worse
 
could you not fill the master to the top and then just top it off when it gets low?
